Enroll in the Preferred Tenant Program!
Prepare for Off-Campus Living with the Preferred Tenant Program (PTP)
Before moving off-campus, all students are encouraged to complete the Preferred Tenant Program (PTP)—a free, self-paced rental education course available online through Canvas.
PTP equips students with essential knowledge to navigate the rental process and become responsible, informed tenants. Plus, completing the program comes with exclusive benefits! Participating landlords offer incentives such as $250 off your security deposit and/or 2% off monthly rent (see below for eligible properties).
The UWM Off-Campus Resource Center is committed to helping students transition smoothly to off-campus living while fostering positive community engagement. Through PTP, we provide up-to-date rental education in collaboration with campus and local partners to ensure you have the resources you need.
You can enroll in PTP on Canvas: https://uws-ce.instructure.com/courses/9614.
By completing the Preferred Tenant Program, we hope that: Landlords/ Management Companies can sign up to join the program using the following form: Landlord/Rental Company Registration Landlords and rental companies participating in this program with UWM agree to provide a discount of 2% off monthly rent and/or $250 off security deposits to tenants who have completed the Preferred Tenant Program class. Tenants receive a lease addendum to certify they have completed the course and are eligible for the discount on rent, that is good as long as they are a student at UWM. Student-tenants in the course learn about rental rights and responsibilities. These are must-rent-to tenants who want to have a positive experience living in the neighborhood.
