I would take this guy?s advice. MSU was incredibly gracious with scholarship help for my son. They also put more emphasis on recruiting students than anybody that we encountered throughout his college decision making process. Bottom line is that enrollment appears to be priority on and they want to help any way they can. Just my opinion though.Quote:

About the sublease, my understanding is that verbal promises are legally binding (though they are difficult to prove). Still, it is a bit of a toe to stand on that he was assured that he would be allowed to sublease. Maybe he should try to create a transcript of the conversation, as close as possible to accurate (from memory). But I'd still find a way out of it completely instead.
My son was at UF and had three different apts. Had problems with roommates and such. Charged a $385.00 fee for so called damages that were there in the beginning. Now this is where you may get some mental relief. He subleased every year. The apartments will sublease if the person can qualify as you did. You may have to throw in an enticement like paying the first month rent or paying the fee but if the demand is there you'll find a tenant. Good luck.
