Off-campus housing

There are plenty of privately owned apartments for rent in the Hyde Park area. Check with local realtors, look on bulletin boards, and surf the Net to find out what's available. If you're in the market to buy, look for realtors in the phone book. Some of the larger apartment buildings and property management companies in the area are listed on this page.

If you're having trouble with your landlord, you can go to the City of Chicago Web site at www.cityofchicago.org and click on "Home and Property" to review the landlord/tenant ordinance and find other helpful information.
