If you are a graduate student receiving a Princeton stipend or an employee on payroll, your rent is deducted from your monthly stipend. The deduction code on your pay stub will show as “RN”.

If you are not receiving a monthly stipend/paycheck from the University, or if your stipend/paycheck is not sufficient to cover the full monthly rental charge, it is your responsibility to pay these charges by cash or check each month directly to the Rent Department located at 701 Carnegie Center, Suite 161 Princeton, NJ 08540 . Please note that you will not receive an advance billing notice of the monthly rent due. Note that once we have confirmed that you are not receiving a monthly stipend, coupons will be sent to you to facilitate the monthly payment process.

If you receive a stipend or salary on a ten month basis, the Rent Department will deduct monthly rental payments due for September through June. However, this means you are required to submit direct payments for your rent during July and August each year to cover charges during the summer when stipend or salary is not available for us to make deductions.

Rent payments are due on the first of each month. Your monthly pay will reflect the fact that rent was deducted for the month in which you are being paid. We do not deduct rent in advance of the month due. Therefore, your September pay will show that the payment of rent for September.

Checks can be dropped off or mailed to the Rent Department, 701 Carnegie Center, Suite 161 Princeton, NJ 08540. If paying by cash, please see the Cashier, also located on the 3rd floor, New South.
