Off-Campus Housing Listings

Local Area Housing

To assist current students with their housing search, SUNY Delhi is using Apartments.com . This service contains apartments and rooms for rent. The features are available to the SUNY Delhi community.

Property owners, rental agents and non-members of the university community are invited to post their rental vacancies on apartments.com. Please read and follow the Posting Guidelines, as they are strictly enforced. All postings must comply with the Fair Housing Act and local, state and federal rules and regulations.

SUNY Delhi employees do not approve, inspect, or supervise the premises described, nor does the university become party to housemate/sub-letter/landlord/tenant matters.

Renters Insurance

While SUNY Delhi does not recommend any one insurance company to deal with, we highly recommend that students living off campus obtain renters insurance. Renters insurance will cover a loss of property in case of fire, flood, theft, etc. Contact any insurance company to obtain this valuable resource.
