The University maintains several houses and a five-unit apartment complex for lease by faculty and staff. Lease terms may vary based on the needs of the faculty/staff member.

Rent and utility charges are automatically deducted monthly through payroll deduction. Rent and utility charges are adjusted annually based on the policy outlined below. A security deposit of 50 percent of one month’s rent is required prior to occupancy.

Rent Level and Utility Charge Policy

Rent levels are established to recover Colgate’s costs of maintaining properties. Colgate does not make a profit on its rental properties by adding a profit margin to rents, nor does it attempt to recover the opportunity costs of maintaining rental properties rather than investing the property value elsewhere. In fact, at present, Colgate is minimally subsidizing most renters by not fully recovering its costs.

Rent levels and utility charges are set annually by the vice president for finance & administration. They are determined using the projected costs of utilities, maintenance, and property taxes.
