Anyway to adjust a cancellation fee?
Context: I’m someone who couldn’t get housing but was able to in the late assignments on June 5th. However I was thinking about living off campus instead for multitude of reasons and got in contact with an apartment I was interested in.
However I completely forgot about cancellation fees and reached out to residential services. I emailed asking about the cancellation fee, and they told me according to the schedule, it’d be $1,000 dollars. I tried asking if it would be adjusted because I got my housing so late, as I only had a month of deciding about off campus. They told me they couldn’t do anything about the schedule.
I’ve had trouble with residential serviced giving me inaccurate information in the past, so I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible to get a lower fee. I wouldn’t mind paying $500 or $650, but $1,000 is just too much for me to justify living off campus instead.
