Check the housing website for his U. There is most likely info about off campus housing options and what to look for. I know that in Madison, WI there are all sorts of city rules/regulations landlords must follow. Get a copy of tenants rights for the city his apt will be in. Consider checking the UW-Madison website for their info to get ideas.

Campus area landlords had all sorts of addendas to the standard rental form used. These were good from our (parent) viewpoint- things about noise, no kegs…

Ask about the security deposit and how to determine son’s share if there are damages et al.
