How to Register an Account How to Place an Ad How to Edit an Ad How to Renew an Ad How to Upgrade to Top Ads How to Boost an AdPlease be aware that a number of institutions have reported that individuals have been contacting people with listings on their off-campus housing registries and offering to pay the entire year's rent with a cheque or money order.
We would ask that you be cautious with this as in some cases the money order or cheque is fraudulent. Typically what happens is that the individual sends several months worth of rent and almost immediately ask for all but one or two month's rent (deposit) to be returned. They do this in the hope that your bank will not recognize the forgery until the normal clearing process has happened. This would result in you being out the money that you have returned to them.

What's an Access Fee? It is a fee paid once every rolling 12 months that provides landlords access to Western's Off-Campus Housing Service online listing system. Once you have access to the online listing system, you can place listings & upload pictures.
Top Ads: Feature your ad in two places on our listings page by upgrading your ad to a Top Ad. Your ad will be featured in the Top Ads section in addition to the general listings.
Each time the page is loaded, four Top Ads will be randomly featured. At any time, users can scroll through the carousal or click "See All Top Ads" to view all other Top Ads. Only 48 Top Ads spots will be available at a time for purchase.
Your ad must be active if you would like it featured in the Top Ads section. If you remove your active ad, or select a time length for Top Ads that exceeds the expiry of your ad, you will not be refunded for unused Top Ads days, nor are Top Ads days transferrable to a different ad.
Boost: Boost your active ad to the top of the list. Your ad will move from its position on our listings page to the first spot on our page. The ad only remains at the top until a new listing is placed or another ad is boosted above yours.
Full-time Western students who have paid the Off-Campus Housing Ancillary Fee are allowed one free listing in one of the following categories: Apartment to Share, House to Share, or Sublets. You must provide your Western student number and the listing must be placed in your name and use your Western e-mail address in the contact section. It may take up to two business days to verify your student status and activate your listing.
Students who did not pay the Off-Campus Housing Ancillary Fee but want to post on our website are welcome. Please review our pricing and payment options when submitting a listing.
We wish to strongly advise you that there is no solicitation permitted on campus. (The Board of Governors' policy number 1.12). This means that landlords are not permitted to come onto campus to entice students to rent their properties nor are they permitted to remain in the Off-Campus listing area or parking lot for that purpose. We reserve the right to suspend or remove any listing for violating policies and procedures.
The University of Western Ontario complies with the Human Rights Code prohibiting discrimination based on the grounds set out in the Code.

We value your continued support in accommodating Western students and appreciate your co-operation in this matter.
