Questions, answered

What students ask before they reach out.

What is Inlet?

Inlet is a sublease board for students near UIUC. Browse rooms in the open, see how each rent compares to the building's real market rent, and message listers without leaving the site.

Do I need a .edu email to use Inlet?

No. Anyone can browse and anyone can post. Signing in with a school (.edu) email adds a verified student badge to your listings and ranks them higher on the board.

Is Inlet free?

Yes. Browsing, posting a room, and messaging are all free.

How does verification work?

When you sign in with a school (.edu) email, Inlet verifies it automatically and your listings carry a verified student badge. A listing without a badge isn't necessarily bad. It just hasn't earned that signal yet.

When should I look for a summer sublease at UIUC?

Most summer subleases near UIUC are posted between March and May, but rooms appear year-round as plans change. New listings show up on the board the moment they're posted.

How do I post my sublease?

Create a free account, choose Post your place, and add your room's photos, rent, and dates. It takes a few minutes, and students searching near campus see it right away.

Posting is free and takes a few minutes. A school email adds the verified badge and ranks you higher.
