The lease that was signed should be evaluated to determine if those fees were disclosed.

The father should ask for a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act.  In the letter, ask that the landlord waive the fees as the accommodation.  The father will need to get a letter from the daughter's doctor stating that due to her severe medical condition she needs to remain home to receive care for her illness.

Committee members,

I had a  father call me whose daughter was to start at UF later this month.  He and his wife found her private housing and entered into a lease for the school year whereby the daughter would be in a unit to share with another student.  In June, the daughter became ill, was hospitalized, and now cannot attend school (at all this year and I don't know for how long) and will remain home.  The father notified the property mangager, Campus Lodge Apartments in Gainesville, by phone and email in June (as soon as they learned the daughter's prognosis) that the daughter will not be needing the housing and asked to cancel the lease.  The lease does not provide for an early termination fee.

The property manager stated that it still has other students waiting for housing and sent an email that it was in the process of cancelling.  Now the property manager has emailed that it wants a $200 "reassignment" fee and one month's rent as a termintion fee.  The rent is reasonable ($550 or $600/mo.).  I told him that rathter than have me write, research, and perhaps negotiate, he might as well pay the $800 because he could end up paying that or more in legal fees.  However, I thought I would put this out there in case anyone has experience with this type of housing and has any advise or is willing to speak with this man about taking on his case.

Understandably, the father is upset because with all that's going on with the daughter - who apparently is quite unwell- and feels that the landlord should just cancel, which he thought it was doing from the 1st email.  I have not read the lease, but the father said he read it and he reads that there is no way he can just cancel.

Thank you

The father should ask for a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act.  In the letter, ask that the landlord waive the fees as the accommodation.  The father will need to get a letter from the daughter's doctor stating that due to her severe medical condition she needs to remain home to receive care for her illness.

Committee members,

I had a  father call me whose daughter was to start at UF later this month.  He and his wife found her private housing and entered into a lease for the school year whereby the daughter would be in a unit to share with another student.  In June, the daughter became ill, was hospitalized, and now cannot attend school (at all this year and I don't know for how long) and will remain home.  The father notified the property mangager, Campus Lodge Apartments in Gainesville, by phone and email in June (as soon as they learned the daughter's prognosis) that the daughter will not be needing the housing and asked to cancel the lease.  The lease does not provide for an early termination fee.

The property manager stated that it still has other students waiting for housing and sent an email that it was in the process of cancelling.  Now the property manager has emailed that it wants a $200 "reassignment" fee and one month's rent as a termintion fee.  The rent is reasonable ($550 or $600/mo.).  I told him that rathter than have me write, research, and perhaps negotiate, he might as well pay the $800 because he could end up paying that or more in legal fees.  However, I thought I would put this out there in case anyone has experience with this type of housing and has any advise or is willing to speak with this man about taking on his case.

Understandably, the father is upset because with all that's going on with the daughter - who apparently is quite unwell- and feels that the landlord should just cancel, which he thought it was doing from the 1st email.  I have not read the lease, but the father said he read it and he reads that there is no way he can just cancel.

Thank you

Campus Lodge is a private lessor. It is likely that the lease is a binding agreement. While I sympathize with the parent, I doubt that there is any relief and he is lucky that there is demand for the unit. Take the deal and pay them to get out.
