Rental Opportunities Vendor Information

There are two vendors who have exclusive permission from the University of Maryland to advertise their products and services to students living in the residence halls and to do so with the assistance of the Departments of Resident Life and Residential Facilities. Information about Bed Lofts and Refrigerators will be mailed to residents’ home addresses in late July.

Lofts

Students can rent a bed loft for their residence hall room from Bedloft.com. This product is a convenient, affordable way to maximize space and comfort. Bunking the beds are also an option in most residence halls.

Refrigerators

MyFridgeRental.com offers the rental of Energy Starrated refrigerator-freezers and microwave/refrigeratorfreezer combination (MicroFridge®) units to residence hall students. Students should confer with their roommates before renting a unit to avoid duplicate rental order.
