Renter Resources and Tips

Average Monthly Utility & Internet Costs (Baltimore)

Renters-Insurance 101

• Required by most landlords and the CSU shuttle agreement.

• Basic liability + property coverage starts around $15/month from Lemonade, USAA (for dependents), or State Farm.

• Proof of insurance is often due at lease-signing—budget upfront.

Safety & Tenant Rights

• Baltimore CitiWatch Crime Map: realtime.cityofbaltimore.gov – filter by address before you tour.

• Maryland Tenant Rights Guidebook (AGO PDF): deposits, repairs, evictions.

• 311 Housing Code Enforcement: report unsafe conditions.

Recognize Rental Scams

• Red flags: cash-only deposits, landlord refuses a walkthrough, deal too good to be true, asks you to wire money. When in doubt, call Residence Life.
