Rental Payments
SOU Housing is implementing a new option for tenants to make payments for Student Apartments & Family Housing (SAFH) easier! Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, SOU Housing has been working on integrating online rental payments. This new process will greatly reduce the risk of exposure to both SAFH tenants and Housing staff in handling personal debit or credit cards when conducting payments. During this unpredictable time, safety is our greatest concern. With this new process, there will be an option to pay using a debit/credit card or your checking account.
The University Housing Office is only able to accept check or money order payments.
First, please watch the video walkthrough below based on if you are the main tenant of your rental unit (the student/staff’s account that is billed once per month), or a roommate/non-main tenant. Please reference this video when you pay your rent online.
A few important notes on how this will work:
- You may only make your rental payment online between the hours of 8:00 am to 4:00 pm (PST), Monday through Thursday. If you make a rental payment outside of the Monday-Thursday, 8am-4pm time period, we cannot guarantee your payment will be properly credited to your rent
- You will be using the online bill pay system already attached to your Inside SOU account (or as a roommate, in most cases, an account set up by the main tenant to pay on their student/staff account)
- Please submit This Survey to let us know what you think! We encourage you to complete an Online Payment Survey so that we may better assist you and gain your thoughts on the new payment process
At any time, if you have any questions or need assistance, we are here to help! Please email SOU Housing at housing@sou.edu
