Tips for Housing

Dormitories around the university:

• Broshim and Einstein

NOTE: the company that used to run Milman, Brodetzky and Ra'anana Dorms has sold out its properties, therefore the information you can find on their website can be outdated. Additionally, we have been reported that Brodetzky dorms no longer accept foreign tenants.

Broshim enrollment

To add your name in the Broshim waiting list: https://forms.monday.com/forms/8a08dde9b3f31642670c466546e7ee24?r=use1

Please note: there is a waiting list active all over the year and tenant initiatives are not considered, which means no subletting and no swapping of rooms. Only the Housing team can deal with these things. When you need replacement, the TAU housing office will deal with that.

Please note: the rental contract requires the tenant to renew the contract every year. If a tenant has to leave before the end of the contract, they need to find a substitution. This is true for ALL of the dorms.

You can also contact the TAU office for housing and check on the official page: https://international.m.tau.ac.il/housing

In particular, you can contact the Housing Coordinator of TAU international office

And for the Broshim dorm management

PRO TIP Looking for a short term solution for formal guests or families/friends? The Broshim dorm company offers guest rooms LINK HERE, but it is not very friendly price.

RECOMMENDED BY TAU international (The Lowy International School): check on the 2023-2024 TAUi Online Handbook; from page 5, you'll find information about off-campus accommodation.

Note given the high amount of people searching for accommodation, and the fact that the housing market in Israel is not strictly regulated, we invite you to pay the most careful attention while looking for apartments: scams and frauds are pretty common. Once you found an offer, ask friends and colleagues about the offering, and don't hesitate to talk to the people in the International office for further consultation before you sign a contract.

Need a lawyer? Check with the student union!

https://www.student.co.il/legal-advice

Important: the student union lawyers deal only with the people who paid the welfare taxes. This means that the postdocs, which are not students, and PhD students that decided not to pay the welfare tax are not allowed to get a consultancy. 

Outside the campus, there might be pro-bono lawyers and offices that can assist. As last resource, any lawyer that deals with real estate and speaks English will do!
