Non-Government Housing
Rental Options
Housing Service Center (HSC) - The HSC is your contact for all of your off-base housing needs. The HRO provides:
- Assistance with locating a property in the local community. The HSC will provide you with a list of rentals properties that match your desired criteria. You will also be provided with a map of the area, a list of local real estate agencies, a housing referral guide booklet and information on the areas in which the properties are located. Note: The HSC has a variety of furnished and unfurnished properties averaging between $800 - $2900. In most cases a security deposit, up to one month's rent, is required.
- Assistance with lease review. HSC counselors will review your lease agreement to ensure that it is in compliance of Rhode Island Tenant – Landlord laws and all tenancy issues are addressed. You should never give a deposit or sign a lease unless you are sure that you want the property. Once signed, the lease becomes a legal binding document.
- Assistance with any difficulties you may encounter negotiating, during or terminating your lease agreement.
- Assistance with any problems you may encounter with a rental such as discrimination complaints, tenant/landlord disputes or Rhode Island tenant/landlord law questions.
All renters should carry renters insurance against fire, theft and other damages. The property owner's insurance will only cover the property and not the renters personal belongings.
Purchase Options
The Housing Service Center maintains listings of sale properties in the local community averaging in price from $275,000 to $500,000. Contact the HRO counselor for listings and additional information.
Mobile Homes
NAVSTA Newport does not operate a mobile home park. Additionally, community mobile home lots are extremely difficult to obtain within the local commuting area.
