Avoiding Student Housing Scams

Be careful with pressure and unclear details

Be cautious if someone pushes you to pay quickly, refuses a viewing, avoids written details, or cannot explain the location clearly. Good providers should be able to answer practical questions.

Protect your payment decision

UniRooms does not collect rent or deposits. Confirm the provider, the room, the terms, and receipts before making any payment directly to a provider.

• View the room in person where possible.
• Ask for clear receipts and written terms.
• Avoid paying for a room you cannot verify.
• Report suspicious listings or unclear provider behavior.
