The Staff Housing Referral Office is for referral only, but it may also be used for information on rental housing for incoming staff members and for listing the property of staff members for rent. The Housing Information Office of the Housing Division is the University community's central source of housing information and assistance. While serving primarily the needs of University students, the program's resources are available from current faculty and staff who are on leave or sabbatical, maps and advisors with whom to speak. Occasionally, and as vacancies permit, University owned and operated student apartments can be leased to staff and faculty. Ann Arbor has a number of apartment complexes which range in size.
Apartments vary from one room efficiencies to larger two and three bedroom units.
Most apartments are equipped with all major appliances, including dishwasher and disposal. Also, carpeting, mini-blinds, drapes, central air conditioning and heating, maintenance, and parking are usually standard items. Many apartment complexes have a swimming pool. Coin operated laundry facilities are provided by all complexes, even those that have connections in the individual units. In addition to apartment complexes, there are many homes broken into apartments.
