3 Welcome to Pasadena City College! Living abroad is exciting, and the city of Pasadena has a lot of attractions to offer international students.

Pasadena is an urban city west of the San Gabriel Valley and 10 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The weather is typically sunny, hot and dry. Average temperature fluctuates between low 60s in the winter and high 90s in the summer. Rain often occurs in winter and fall. It s a good idea to always have a light jacket as the weather can change suddenly throughout the day.

4 What you need to know: Vocabulary: Landlord: the person who owns and/or rents you the property. Tenant: you, the person who stays and uses the property. Rent: what you pay to live in a property. Lease: your agreement with the landlord. If you rent from the renter, it s called a sublease. Deposit: upfront payment that you get back when you move out unless you damage the property. Penalty fees: what you pay if you do not follow the rules on the lease. Credit history: when you own credit cards and borrow money in the U.S, you have a credit history. Social Security Number: a number ID given to U.S. citizen, residents and temporary workers. Normal wear & tear: what things look like after being used, but not damaged.

Common problems: Ask you for money before meeting you. Currently away from home and cannot meet you face to face. Want you to pay over the phone, send it by mail, , or wire. Get upset because you ask for an ID or a signed receipt. Do not call you back. Let you wait and do not apologize. Change the price at the last minute. Ask your landlord to waive (not charge) the application fee. You don t have a social security number or a credit history! When this happens, walk away! If you re not sure, contact your coaches or the iso@pasadena.edu Things to remember: Don t give out your bank account number or important information over or phone. Meet your landlord/roommate and see the place in person. Take a friend with you. Call 20 minutes ahead to confirm your visit/appointment. Ask questions: What is included in the rent? Are guests allowed? Who else lives there or has a key? Check everything: sink, toilet, hot water, lights, air conditioner/heater, etc. Take pictures of the room AND any damages. 5. Type/write down everything AND sign. Make a lease. Always. You cannot change your mind after you sign. 6. Don t give anyone your money without a signed lease, a key and a receipt. 7.

8 Craigslist and Uloop User Guide International Student Center Craigslist: a free online market for everyone. Uloop: a free online market designed for college students. Craigslist and Uloop are 2 examples of online marketplace for rental. More than 80% of landlords and apartment managers use these (especially Craigslist) to look for tenants. You can also look for furniture, bikes, books, even jobs on them. Use them safely and wisely will give you more options and save money: 1. Be specific. Give details. Posts that do not have a lot of info are not serious or reliable. 2. Be honest. Tell the truth about yourself and your habit. If you re messy, don t say you re super neat! 3. Be patient. It takes time to find a good deal. Give yourself time. Make at least 5 calls. 4. Be on time. Prove you re a responsible and serious tenant. 5. Be cautious. Don t give your bank account number or important information over or phone. 6. Be proactive. Landlords look for tenants by browsing their ads. If you need help writing your ads, iso@pasadena.edu or stop by D-204, Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm. Example of a good housing ads: Hello, My name is Will, I m 19 years old and I ll be attending PCC this Fall. I m looking for a room in a safe neighborhood, about 1-2 miles from school for $ /month. I prefer private room, but can share if the rent is cheaper. I m a clean, quiet and serious student. I play a lot of video games on my computer, but I use my headphones. I might go out during the weekend, but not so much during the week. I m allergic to cats, so no cats, but dogs are fine. If possible, I d like to not live in household with too many kids. I m looking to move in mid July. If you are interested, please respond to this ads. 8
