General Information

Accommodations for rent listed by this office have been accepted from University of Michigan faculty and staff who are going on leave, extended vacations, or sabbaticals. These listings are their primary residences. We also include listings from faculty and staff members who want to share their primary residence. In addition, we list houses and apartments of permanent or visiting faculty and staff not in the Ann Arbor area, for rent or exchange. Eligibility to list units is limited to permanent, retired, or visiting faculty and staff members only.

The Referral Service is designed primarily to assist newly appointed and visiting University of Michigan faculty and staff locate housing during their stay here, while at the same time assisting faculty and staff members from the Ann Arbor campus who wish to rent, share, or exchange their primary residence while on leaves of absence, sabbaticals, or extended vacations (two months or more). Dwellings used for income purposes (rental properties) are not eligible to be listed (they may be listed on our Off Campus Housing website)

4. The Listing is available only to eligible University of Michigan affiliates, not to students or the Ann Arbor area population in general. When a listing is submitted it will be reviewed by this office and, if approved, included in the current listings.
5. If you are renting a unit we suggest you contact your attorney or a real estate professional for advice in drawing up a lease, for information about the Fair Housing Act and its provisions that apply to you, and to explain your rights as a landlord, as well as your tenant's rights. The Housing Information Office is not responsible for and does not mediate in landlord/tenant conflicts that may arise from rentals originating from contacts made through the listing.
