I would assume that dollar figure is the Parlor Fee for the year for each member. The Parlor Fee is typically what non-residents pay to support house operations in general since all members use the house in some capacity. Sometimes bylaws state that if the house is not filled, any empty bed rental fees are split equally among non-residents in the Parlor Fee. That's the kind of arrangement I'm assuming this is. It's really more like dues than rent and there wouldn't be a lease agreement.
It's not eviction since members aren't living in and being kicked out. I've been very interested in how greek orgs are managing these kinds of things with reduced capacities and houses that typically sleep 60 or more members. Will our housing corporations survive the financial hit? Or are many chapters handling it this way, through Parlor Fees?
