Facility Rental or Lease Payment Guide

This guide provides information about the facility rental and lease payment process.

The campus may engage in renting facilities for University business purposes on a short- or long-term basis. A facility owner will require the payment of a use fee in return for permission to use the facility. In certain situations, the campus may find it necessary to enter into a long-term lease with the facility owner in order to meet University business needs.​​​

    Important information to know:

    1. Special conditions. Be aware of the following special conditions applying to this type of transaction.
      • A facility or space rental of 30 days or less is arranged through the issuance of a purchase order.
      • A short-term facility or space rental exceeding 30 days may require a business contract and should be coordinated through the Business Contracts Office.
      • A long-term real estate property lease is arranged through the Real Estate Office.
    2. Advance payment. In many instances, the property owner will require payment in advance; refer to the appendices for information about making an advance payment.
    3. Avoid conflicts of interest. Refer to the appendices for information covering employee-vendor conflict of interest issues.
    4. Tax information. Payments may only be made to recipients with a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). Use IRS Form W-7 Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to apply for an ITIN number.
    5. Payment form. If this is the first time the recipient will be receiving a UCSC non-payroll payment, complete a Payee Setup 204 form.
