What act required civilians to let military troops live in their homes?

The act that required civilians to provide housing for military troops is known as the Quartering Act. It was originally passed by the British Parliament in 1765 and later amended in 1774, as part of a series of measures that heightened tensions between the American colonies and Britain. The act mandated that colonial residents accommodate British soldiers in their homes and provide them with food and supplies, which contributed to growing resentment leading up to the American Revolution.
