We had a similar problem this past spring. Several guys wanted to live out of the house for personal reasons, and a few couldn't live in the house because of prior commitments to be on residence hall staff. This put us 2 men short of having the house filled. Only one of the six or so guys, aside from the RH staff, asked the EC if it was ok if he moved out. When it came time to sign the new leases, there were five more guys moving out, and they had already signed leases. EC decided that since only one of them had permission, and that was providing the house was full to capacity, they would all have to split the cost of the 2 men that weren't living in the house. This means it is costing them quite a bit more to live out of house than it normally would, but our president said earlier in the year that noboday has to live in the house, but if it's not full, they'll have to pay. Let's just say these guys aren't too happy about it, but they were forewarned.
