Brigham Young University. Student Housing

The Residential Housing Office is a division of the Brigham Young University Housing Office, created in May 1953. It has been responsible for providing information and services related to off-campus housing for students. It has also certified BYU-approved housing, trained landlords and apartment managers, mediated student-landlord disputes, managed the University Homes, and helped maintain BYU standards.

Since the foundation of Brigham Young University students have sought out off-campus living accommodations. During the Maeser Administration, such arrangements were supervised by the Domestic Department. By the early 1920s, lists of approved off-campus housing had been developed and were available for arriving students. A faculty housing committee was also established to periodically inspect housing facilities.
