The Quartering Acts were other of the Acts imposed by the Parliament. This didn't levy taxes from colonists but forced them to give rooms to the custom officials that enforced The Sugar Act. Besides having to give the soldiers quarters, they were also forced to feed them. Later, in 1774, this act was modified and it now allowed the British soldiers to take over any building they wanted and the colonists had to leave the building.
This infuriated the colonists in several ways. Not only did they had to provide housing but the officers were also taking away jobs. People hired them most because they didn't ask for a big salary and were willing to work very hard.
