Living in an apartment is much different than the residence halls, but SLI strives to maintain the necessary measures to make students and their parents feel comfortable while living with us. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

How do I apply for an apartment?
All applicants must have the required forms of approval as determined by Millersville University Housing & Residential Program Office. After receiving approval, applicants will receive an email from SLI to their MU email account. Applicants will then need to create a tenant web access account, which will be used to (1) digitally sign the rental application and agreement and (2) pay the required $500 deposit to secure execution of the lease offered. When a lease is ready the applicant will receive notification that a new document is ready for their signature on tenant web access.
