The Off-Campus Housing Assistance office (OCHA) provides assistance to Columbia faculty, staff, students, and alumni in their search for rental housing in properties not owned by Columbia in the New York City area.  OCHA’s services include an online database of listings of rooms and apartments for lease, sublet or share; a web site for information on how to search OCHA’s listings, tips on finding housing, and links to other resources; in-person advice; use of computers; and other resources, including maps, lists of realtors and temporary housing, and more.

OCHA’s services are free of charge.  It does not operate as a real estate or rental agency.  However, some of its listers may charge a fee.  The service does not screen owners, tenants, or roommates, and does not inspect or approve apartments.  Listing of accommodations does not constitute a recommendation, nor is the accuracy of the description verified by OCHA.

The goal of the Off-Campus Housing Resource Center is to provide the tools and resources necessary to find an apartment in New York City and the surrounding areas.  The office can help you learn when to look, where to look, and how to look.  The office does this by familiarizing you with real estate terms, rental ranges, your rights and obligations as a tenant, neighborhoods, and housing profiles.

The office will help you formulate a plan of action, direct you to landlords and brokers, as well as other resources for your apartment search, and guide you through the lease process.
