CampusLease Safety
What we verify, what we don't, and how to protect yourself while searching.
University email verification
Students confirm a sign-in link sent to their university email address. That proves control of the address — not identity or enrollment — and it expires after 12 months. CampusLease never asks for a NetID or university password.
Listing and property manager verification
Separate from student verification. Every new listing is held until a moderator approves it. A Verified Listing badge is granted only after that manual review; a Verified Property Manager badge is granted after a manual review of business details. Neither guarantees the property, agreement, safety, or legitimacy.
Safer messaging
Only verified members can send messages, conversations stay on CampusLease, and anyone can block another member — blocking works both ways and stops new conversations.
Reporting
Report any listing or member in two taps. Reports go to the CampusLease moderation queue, where a moderator can flag, hold, take down, or remove a listing and suspend an account. Every action is kept in a case history.
Before you pay anyone
- • Never send money before independently verifying the property and agreement.
- • Be cautious of pressure to wire money, use gift cards, or send a fast deposit.
- • Tour in person or over video, and ask to see the lease.
- • Report suspicious listings or messages right away.
- • CampusLease does not own, inspect, manage, or guarantee listed properties.
