HOUSING IN SAN FRANCISCO ATTENTION STUDENTS: PLEASE READ! • • • Although UC Berkeley Extension facilitates contact between students and housing providers as a service to both, the agreement for housing is between the student and the housing provider, and not between both parties and the University of California. Please make sure when signing a lease that you are planning to stay for the length of the lease (whether it’s 4 months, 6 months, or 1 year). Breaking a lease (leaving early) is a serious legal matter and should not be taken lightly. International Student Services cannot give legal advice nor help with this matter but will refer you to Renter’s Assistance on campus for help.

The monthly rates for a private bedroom in a shared apartment range from $1,000-1,850. The monthly rate for a shared bedroom in a shared apartment is $1,125. The minimum lease is 3 months.

With this type of service, you will be able to find units that vary in rooms, price, and size. You may choose to rent a room alone or with roommate. Please be aware that students must arrange their own roommates—the management company will not do so. Students may be required to pay an advance deposit equal to the first month’s rent.
