the "surcharge" is just that. an extra cost for leaving early. i have paid the entire semester in full already, and don't plan on moving out until finals.
in all honestly, i guess i should have paid closer attention to what the housing stuff said. i always lived on campus before as an RA at my other school, and since they did housing by semesters, i figured it would be that way here too.. but umm gues not.
basically the penalty deal has to do with mitigating their damages.
the non-breaching party has to try to mitigate their damages, say find new tenents, before they can charge penalty stuff, because basically if they can recover their losses that way, they shouldn't have to "double-dip".
i don't see why this is such a big deal in the first place.. they have a waiting list of people who want to live on campus.
i just can't live here anymore.. it is insanely gross. i have had a MAJOR bug problem, and they haven't done anything about it! i called the front desk a couple of weeks ago and was *furious* when the deskclerk said "well umm maybe you could find another place to stay.."
