The company has worked with university partners across North America since 2000.<\/p>\n<p>York University is actively seeking listings to be included on the new website when it launches. It\u2019s a free service for staff and faculty to post a basic listing and it is easy to do, either by phone at 1-877-895-1234 or via email at <a href=\"mailto:info@offcampuspartners.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">info@offcampuspartners.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope is that our students \u2013 many of whom are seeking rentals for the first time \u2013 feel comfortable and confident seeking out off-campus housing through this platform that provides educational resources and other features not found on other sites,\u201d says Daryl Nauman, director of residence life at York University.<\/p>\n<p>The service is designed to meet students\u2019 needs, enabling local property managers, individuals, faculty and staff to advertise vacancies directly on the University website.<\/p>\n<p>The mobile-responsive service will be integrated with Passport York and open to all York community members. It provides students with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>access to comprehensive property listings with photographs, floor plans, a map demonstrating proximity to campus, a list of amenities as well as contact information;<\/li>\n<li>an overview of the types of off-campus housing available;<\/li>\n<li>information about tenant rights and responsibilities;<\/li>\n<li>a roommate finder tool;<\/li>\n<li>message boards; and<\/li>\n<li>tips about how to choose a good landlord, living with roommates and safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to list opportunities on this site to expand the types of rental rooms and apartments to counter the competitive Toronto rental market. Searching for a clean, secure place to live with a reliable and trusted landlord has become harder and harder for many students in the Greater Toronto Area.<\/p>\n<p>The new website will be found at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/offcampushousing.yorku.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offcampushousing.yorku.ca<\/a>. Faculty, staff and students can visit the site and enter their email address to be notified when the new site launches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the new year, York
