Student Housing — built for campus life

Students need different housing than regular tenants: rooms near campus, shared houses, gender policies, term budgets, and clear distance to lectures. RentHub gives Student Housing its own space — organised by university and college — so seekers, private landlords, residence operators, and institutions can meet without the usual notice-board chaos.

Why Student Housing is separate

General Explore still works for flats and houses. Student Housing is for people whose next home must fit campus routines — walk times, shared occupancy, and listings linked to real institutions.

Browse by institution

Open a university or college page and see what is available for that campus — not a mixed pile of city-wide rentals.

Campus distance matters

Listings show walk or proximity context so you can judge the commute before you message or book a viewing.

Shared living realities

Rooms, shared houses, gender policy, and student amenities are first-class — the details students actually ask about.

Clear who is listing

Official residences, private landlords, property companies, and residence operators are labelled so you know who you are dealing with.

For students finding a place

Shortlist from your phone, then only travel when a viewing is worth it — the same RentHub habit, tuned for campus housing.

  1. Open Student Housing

    In the app, go to Student Housing and pick your university or college — or search institutions by name.

  2. Filter what fits campus life

    Look through official residences, private nearby listings, and company-run spaces. Check photos, rent, deposit, and who the place suits before you leave home.

  3. Message & book viewings

    Chat about a specific listing, then request a tour when it looks right. Conversations stay tied to the property so nothing gets lost in scattered WhatsApp threads.

  4. Find roommates when you need them

    Use the roommate marketplace scoped to your institution — looking for a roommate, needing a room, or posting a lease takeover — then contact people through clear in-app messaging.

For landlords & universities publishing student spaces

If you house students — as a private host, residence operator, property company, or official campus residence — publish under Student Housing and link the listing to the right institutions.

Private landlords & hosts

List rooms or houses near campus as Student Housing. Choose private landlord as the owner kind, link one or more universities, and reach students who are already browsing that institution.

Residence operators

Publish boarding houses and student lodges with clear photos, pricing, and campus links so seekers can compare options without guesswork.

Property companies

Run multiple student units under a company account. Keep viewings and listing chats organised the same way you do for residential stock.

Universities & colleges

Publish official campus residences in the same Student Housing space students already use — labelled clearly so they stand out from private nearby options.

How publishing Student Housing works

  • Become a verified landlord in the app, then choose Student Housing when you add a property.
  • Link at least one university or college so the listing appears on the right institution pages.
  • Set owner kind (private landlord, property company, residence operator, or official institution) so students see who is listing.
  • Add the usual RentHub essentials: realistic photos, rent, deposit, and amenities — then publish to reach seekers browsing that campus.
  • Manage edit, mark taken, and relist from your landlord dashboard — same tools as other listing types.

One dedicated space

Students should not dig through general city rentals to find a room near lectures. Landlords and universities should not compete with unrelated stock for attention. Student Housing keeps campus demand and campus supply in one place.

That is how RentHub makes student leasing clearer: institution pages, labelled listers, and the same messaging and viewing flow the rest of the app already uses.

What students can check before they travel

Treat every Student Housing listing like a product page. If it is not near campus or does not fit how you live, keep shopping.

Institution link

See which university or college the place is listed for — and open that institution page for more options.

Photos & pricing

Rooms, shared spaces, kitchens, and exteriors with rent and deposit expectations up front.

Fit for students

Occupancy type, gender policy where relevant, and amenities that matter for shared or campus living.

Trust signals

Screened landlords, owner badges, and report tools — the same trust layer as the rest of RentHub.
