Pathways International is grateful to work with local homeowners to help them match their home with the international students who are seeking housing.  For a minimal annual fee we provide advertising for available properties on our website. We also provide information, such as employment, transportation, and other student needs that both homeowners and students find helpful.

Our annual advertising fee is $25.00 for each property listed. Special rates are available for agents with mutiple listings.  This fee covers 3 student groups; winter, spring, and summer. 

"Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

Psalm 124:8

For all owner occupied rentals we also require a one time background check with a fee of $30.00. Owner occupied is defined as a non-student homeowner or agent living in same house as the students.

Suggestions for Homeowners:

• Write a lease that considers the needs of the students as well as yours. (I.e. departure date and travel plans, 3-4 month time frame.)
• Establish a set time for rent collection. Observe that schedule and collect rent in person.
• Establish a clear understanding on the disposition of the security deposit. 
• North Carolina law dictates that damage to your property or failure to maintain occupancy for the agreed upon rental period are the only justified conditions for not returning a security deposit.
• Maintain a set of dated photographs documenting the condition of your property at the time it was rented.
• In a shared living or “host family” arrangement, clearly establish “house rules”.  Remember, there may be cultural differences, so issues may arise that should be addressed up front:
  
  • Drinking
  • Smoking
  • Visiting friends
  • Kitchen privileges
  • Heating and air control/windows opened
  • Phone - Put a block on long distance service!
  • Computer
  • Washer/dryer (sand in clothing)
  • Clean up
  • Consideration of privacy
  • Off limits areas

Remember the cultural differences and ideas about living environments. In many cases this is their first experience renting.  Keep the lines of communication open and make certain that your expectations as the homeowner are clearly understood.
