There's a big difference. One wants your signature. We want you to find a place you'll actually be happy living in — and to understand what you're agreeing to before you sign anything.
Haus&Co. Properties was built around a simple frustration: finding student housing near major universities shouldn't be this hard.
Too many students — especially those moving to North Carolina from out of state, or from abroad — end up signing leases for places they haven't seen, in areas they don't know, without anyone explaining what the contract actually means.
We're here to change that. We cover Raleigh (NC State), Chapel Hill (UNC), and Durham (Duke) — three distinct cities with three distinct housing markets — and we know each one well.
Everything we do is designed around what actually matters to students — budget, proximity to campus, lease length, and having someone to call when something goes wrong.
We don't work on commission. We don't push you toward any specific property. Our only job is to help you find the right place for you.
We tell you what we know, including the stuff that's less flattering about a property. No spin, no upsell.
We've walked these streets. We know which neighbourhoods are actually quiet, which landlords are responsive, and where the value is.
We're a housing advisory service. We're happy to make that clear at every step — no agency agreement, no commission, no obligation.
International students face extra hurdles in the US housing market. We factor that in from the start, not as an afterthought.
US leases can be confusing, especially if you've never rented here before. We help you understand what you're signing before you sign it.
Student housing moves fast — especially in August. We help you plan ahead so you're not scrambling two weeks before the semester starts.
Renting in the US as an international student comes with hurdles that nobody tells you about upfront. Credit history requirements. Guarantor demands. Security deposit rules that vary by state. Lease terms that assume you understand things you've never encountered before.
North Carolina is one of the more international-student-friendly states to rent in — but it still has its own quirks. We know them, and we'll walk you through everything so there are no surprises.
Talk to us →No US credit history? We'll explain your options — international co-signers, guarantor services, and landlords who accept alternatives.
Most NC student leases run August to July. We help you plan around your arrival date and avoid costly short-term gaps.
NC tenant law is clear on habitability, entry notice, and repairs. We'll make sure you know what your landlord is legally required to provide.
Coming from abroad and can't visit first? We can give you a thorough remote walkthrough and help you make a confident decision from afar.
Once you've moved in, we're still here. If something goes wrong with the property or landlord, we can help you navigate what to do.
No. We are a housing advisory service, not a licensed real estate agent or broker, and we don't act as one. We help students find and understand their options — we don't represent landlords or take commissions from property transactions.
Contact us to find out about current pricing and what's included. We keep things straightforward — no hidden fees, no surprises.
For August move-ins (the main student housing season in NC), we recommend starting by February or March at the latest. The best places near UNC Chapel Hill in particular go very fast. The earlier the better — don't wait until June.
Yes. We can help you understand the difference between a joint lease and individual leases, and what each option means for your liability. This is especially important in shared student housing.
Absolutely. This is one of the most common situations we deal with. There are landlords in the Triangle who are experienced with international students and flexible on credit requirements. We know who they are.
We can help with summer sublets and short-term arrangements, though the market is thinner in summer. It's worth talking to us in spring before the semester ends.
