Community Housing Office

Located on the first floor of Sproul Hall in the Housing Administration Offices, this office provides rental housing assistance to UCLA students, faculty and staff. They list and accept ads for a variety of living alternatives from the private sector. These listings, updated daily, include apartments, guest houses, houses, rooms in private homes, and roommate situations. The best way to start your search is to visit the Community Housing Office website at www.cho.ucla.edu. House Staff can use the on-line system for a $25 Annual Membership Fee. Submit the membership application with documentation of your affiliation with UCLA. You will receive confirmation by email with your username and password. Memberships are valid for one full year from the date of application. Membership is not required to view the shared and sublet (short-term) situations. Also, if you come in during Office hours, Housing Assistants are available to discuss housing options and to provide information on area rental rates, tenants’ rights, sample rental forms, neighborhood profiles, and transportation. The Housing Office is open from 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Monday–Friday. The phone number is 310-825-4491. Visit their website at www.cho.ucla.edu.

Unfurnished apartments almost always include drapes, carpets, and a stove. Refrigerators are sometimes not included, but can be rented at an additional cost. There are many opportunities to purchase items through the Internet, especially on Craig’s List (www.craigslist.org).
