What is Off-Campus Housing Affairs?
Off-Campus Housing Affairs (OCHA) is a student-run program affiliated with the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW). We opened our doors in May of 1980 to facilitate the increasing demand with off-campus housing issues. OCHA provides students with a central location for off-campus housing opportunities, information and resources as well as references about the rights of a renter. You can find everything from basic housing logistics (where to look for housing, how to find a roommate, lease options) to the most commonly asked questions regarding landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities. The office primarily serves as a clearinghouse similar to the classified ads section of your newspaper; we have listings of available houses, apartments, studios, and shared housing situations. It is up to the individual to directly contact the potential landlord or roommate to make further inquiries, we do not find housing for you nor can we endorse or recommend listings.
