Renting in Missoula can be challenging, from finding housing, to understanding your lease, to navigating your way through landlord/tenant issues. The Off-Campus Renter Center can help. Check out these tips on where to look for housing and some important things to keep in mind, and let us know if you have any questions along the way.
Craigslist - If you are not familiar with this online classified posting website, check it out. It is free to search for housing and to post if you are looking to find a roommate or sublet your place.
MT Housing Search - Some students may qualify for subsidized housing available through local agencies. A good place to start looking for these affordable units is MT Housing Search, a database of units, their availability, contact information, and application requirements.
Below you will find links to a matrix of property management companies and apartment complexes. Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list, only the largest housing providers in the Missoula area.

If you are unsure about the safety of your off-campus housing, the City of Missoula can help! The Building Inspection Division offers housing safety inspections on a request basis. Housing units are inspected for building code violations that may pose a threat to the tenant's health and safety and if the unit passes it gets a certification of safety. Inspections are just $15, a small price to pay for piece of mind. To request an inspection email the Building Inspection Division, or call their office at 552-6040. When looking for housing ask the landlord if the unit has been inspected, if not urge them to have the property inspected, and help us promote quality housing and responsible property owners.
Location is always important when searching for housing, but not just in terms of your proximity to the University. Missoula have great public transportation through Mountain Line and ASUM Transportation. And you can ride free with your Griz Card! So check out the bus line nearest you and save a little money and the environment.
