Off-Campus Housing Referrals
The Off-Campus Housing referral service offers a number of
opportunities to students:
(1) we assist students by providing general information on housing
facilities and how to select housing,
(2) we act in a consultation and referral capacity,
(3) we attempt to assist students if they encounter difficulties, and
(4) we only list property owners who agree not to discriminate on
racial or ethnic grounds.
Several area
landlords have come together to participate in a
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT program with
Penn State Altoona.
This agreement enables a
student to secure off-campus housing space now, and if they are offered on-campus
housing from the "wait list" before August 8, 2008, the student will be unconditionally
released from his/her lease and granted a full refund of any monies
collected. For a listing of participating landlords, please access the
Cooperative Providers Agreement, clicking on "COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT" above. Please contact the landlord directly for additional information.
It must be understood that the University does not solicit, select, inspect, or in any way approve facilities described on our Vacancy List. The University assumes no responsibility or liability for the personal safety of student renters, loss or damage to personal property, or the arbitration of disputes between students and property owner. All facilities described on our list should meet housing standards established by the City of Altoona,
Logan Township, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, the University has no legal authority to enforce housing regulations of the City,
Township, or Commonwealth.
