Our Difference
Welcome to Meliorent, where you can find a fully furnished student room tailored to your needs. Our goal is to provide well-maintained and comfortable living spaces close to UR with all utilities included and responsive property management, so you can focus on what matters: your studies and experience at the University of Rochester.
Close
Our focus isn’t just on providing housing for University of Rochester students only—we ensure our properties are conveniently located near campus so you can walk to your classes, spend less time commuting (especially in winter) and more time studying or enjoying those exciting years!
Comfortable
Many off-campus housing options suffer from poor maintenance and outdated furniture. In contrast, our properties are recently remodeled, furnished with brand-new furniture, and equipped with top-notch amenities—creating a comfortable, high-quality home where you can truly thrive.
All Inclusive
Most students have a tight budget, making unexpected utility bills and extra furniture costs challenging to manage. With Meliorent, your home comes fully furnished, equipped with important things like a toaster and a vacuum cleaner, all utilities are included, and there’s no charge for using the washer and dryer. This way, you can stay focused on your studies without budget worries.
Responsive
Property managers can be often unresponsive, leaving you stranded with broken appliances or cold water showers right before a midterm. At Meliorent, we pride ourselves in responding quickly to your problems and questions. We will send someone on-site at all hours of the day and not skimp on any repairs or replacements needed.
Our Story
Meliorent blends “Meliora,” the Latin word for “better” and the iconic motto of the University of Rochester, with “rent,” reflecting our mission and story.
​
Founded in 2023, Meliorent emerged from a desire to offer higher-quality off-campus housing to University of Rochester students—an idea sparked by our own daughter’s experience. While renting a house in the 19th Ward with her friends from UR, she encountered constant challenges with a poorly maintained property and unresponsive, often difficult property management.
​
In 2023, we acquired our first three houses and expanded with four more in 2024. Although our daughter has since graduated, we love being part of the UR community and contributing to the revitalization of the 19th Ward. We’re excited to continue growing, offering better housing options for generations of UR students to come.
