Semester, summer and roommate housing near NYU
Roommate agreement: records how occupants divide rent, utilities, deposits, cleaning, guests, parking and shared-space responsibilities. It does not replace the landlord’s lease.
Residential lease: governs the landlord-tenant relationship when the landlord rents the unit directly to the student or group.
Room or temporary sublease: can fit a semester, internship, clinical rotation, study-away period or summer occupancy, but the master lease and landlord consent may restrict subletting.
Furnished sublease: adds inventory and condition details when furniture, appliances or household items stay with the temporary occupant.
Off-campus checklist for NYU students
- Read the master lease before promising a room or accepting money.
