The British were sending thousands of troops over to the colonies, and they needed somewhere to stay. It was cheaper to have the British live in the houses of the colonists, and King George could keep an eye on what they - the colonists - were doing.

Quartering soldiers "No Taxation Without Representation!"
The Quartering Act of 1765 and the Quartering Act of 1774 both mandated that American colonists provide housing and supplies to British soldiers stationed in the colonies. While the 1765 Act established general provisions for the quartering of troops, the 1774 Act, part of the Coercive Acts, expanded the requirements and allowed soldiers to be housed in private homes without the owners' consent. Both Acts were viewed by colonists as infringements on their rights and contributed to growing tensions between Britain and the colonies. Ultimately, they served as catalysts for colonial resistance and the push for independence.
Between 1764-1765, the British government passed the Sugar Act, the Quartering Act, and the Stamp Act, which met with hostility in the American colonies.
