The University of Colorado at Boulder's spring Off-Campus Housing Fair will be held Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the University Memorial Center's Glenn Miller Ballroom.

The housing fair is the kickoff to the fall rental season and more than 75 vendors will participate. The fair allows students, faculty and staff to collect information on housing opportunities from a variety of property management companies and landlords, according to Susan Stafford, director of the Off-Campus Student Services Office.

"There are a lot of rental opportunities to choose from and the housing fair is a 'one-stop shop' for students who are looking to educate themselves about the rental market, not only in Boulder but also in the surrounding areas," Stafford said.

The city of Boulder also will have representatives 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.
