It’s the start of a new school year, which means lots of young people are joining the Oakland community for the first time.
For many students, renting in Oakland is their first experience living on their own. They need to learn about trash and recycling, transportation and parking, public safety, and more—the sooner, the better!
This is why OPDC created a simple QR-code fridge magnet to connect students with our student renter resources page. The page features links to essential information that will help students understand their rights, resources, and responsibilities as renters and community members. OPDC will be updating and supplementing information on the student renter resources page as needed.
“We wanted to create a magnet that can live on the fridge, even as renters turnover year after year,” says Liz Gray, OPDC Neighborhood Quality Consultant. “It’s a way for students to have easy access to consistent, reliable information, even as guidelines may change.”
