Community Commitment

Your Commitment

The Off-Campus Housing Network is a partnership across our community that will support an iconic off-campus residential experience. Property owners that participate in the Ohio State Off-Campus Housing Network will commit to pre-determined criteria and be considered in-network. Those property owners in-network will be the only entities to access the Ohio State Off-Campus Housing Network benefits. In addition, students and families will have access to information about in-network properties and will be able to make informed decisions about living off-campus.

My company commits to:

Have leases that abide by city, state, and federal law. *
* Including following the renter's choice legislation.

Lease all properties that meet applicable local municipal housing codes. *
* Safety inspections with all network members will be completed for up to 5% of the company's portfolio, conducted by city/community stakeholders.

Register all properties with Franklin County and any applicable local municipality (including the City of Columbus) when required.

Provide and maintain exterior lighting at the rear and front of all properties.

Provide carbon monoxide detectors in all applicable properties – every home with at least one fuel-burning appliance/heater, attached garage or fireplace.

Provide an after-hours contact phone number (to tenants and Ohio State) where OSU can talk to someone to ensure late night/weekend issues can be reported by University and/or safety entities in a timely fashion.

Respond to all reports on the property of noise, hazards, trash, unsafe behaviors, etc.

Provide tenant names and addresses in emergency situations.

Meet individually with OCCSE staff at least twice annually.

Meet with OCCSE staff and relevant stakeholders when requested (which may include municipal code enforcement, safety agencies, tenants, or community partners depending on the situation).

Engage regularly with OCCSE to maintain open lines of communications, to provide feedback, and discuss challenges and trends. This could include participating in surveys, focus groups, or other feedback opportunities.
