Off-campus housing

This decision was made with the students’ health and safety in mind.

We know that social distancing will continue to be part of our lives for some time.

The physical layout of our residences -- where people share bathrooms, dining areas and common areas -- simply does not enable this. 

Those students living in residence who could leave were asked to do so in mid-March, and the residences have been operating at a severely reduced capacity ever since.

No one is being evicted. Accommodations are being found for the few students still remaining in residence today who have been unable to return to their homes because of travel restrictions.

Concordia will make every effort to assist those students wishing to live in Montreal in making alternate housing arrangements.

We are working on developing a special rate with local landlords who lease furnished apartments. For more information, check Concordia’s Student Housing webpages regularly.

Applicants for residence will be refunded the application fees that they have paid.

As Accounts Payable is currently dealing with a high volume of requests, we ask for your patience.

Concordia has partnered with Place4students to offer you the most comprehensive list of off-campus housing options, as well as additional resources and information.

For information about moving to Montreal or signing a lease in Quebec visit the FAQs on the Residence life page. You can also visit the CSU House and Job Resource Centre for more information.  

If you are an international student who was hoping to secure housing please see the information located on the International Students Office (ISO) COVID-19 FAQ page.
