The annual Off-Campus Housing Fair for students, staff and faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder will be held Wednesday, Feb. 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom at the University Memorial Center.

The event allows participants to collect information on housing opportunities for next year from a variety of property management companies and landlords, according to Susan Stafford, director.

"Vacancy rates are higher this year and the fair is a great opportunity for students to take a good look at the rental market," Stafford said. "There are many options to choose from and this will be a 'one stop shop' for students who are looking to educate themselves about the rental market, not only in Boulder but in Louisville, Superior and Longmont."

The city of Boulder also will have representatives attending from rental licensing, zoning, environmental enforcement, community mediation services, fire and police to provide information about tenant responsibilities, such as trash and snow removal, noise ordinances and how to be a good neighbor.
