I
normally
do
not
leave
reviews,
but
I
had
to
for
this
one.
My
son
needed
to
stay
on
campus
for
the
summer
to
do
a
summer
research
project.
We
are
out
of
state,
so
needed
to
find
a
place
to
stay
for
him
at
and
arranged
to
sublet
a
room
at
the
cottages
from
a
student
who
was
out
for
the
summer.
First,
the
Cottages
charged
a
$300
fee
from
the
other
student
and
$250
from
my
son,
just
to
do
the
sublet
arrangement.
This
did
not
include
the
cleaning
fee,
as
the
students
had
to
agree
to
rent
"as
is".
Then
they
told
them
that
these
fees
and
the
lease
covers
only
till
August
1st
(so
June-July)
and
to
stay
there
for
the
August,
they
need
to
redo
all
the
sublet
lease
and
pay
the
fees
again.
Also,
not
including
cleaning
fee
before
move-in,
the
students
had
to
do
this
themselves.
Let's
just
ponder
on
this:
$1100
in
requested
fees
for
2.5
month
stay
for
a
student,
on
top
of
$900
monthly
rent
for
an
apartment
room
for
a
student
apartment
for
the
summer...
In
addition,
my
son
told
me
that
he
felt
unsafe
because
there
were
maintenance
or
cleaning
people
showing
up
to
do
work
in
other
rooms
in
the
apartment
without
any
ahead
notice
or
warning,
just
opening
up
the
door
with
their
key
-
opens
right
into
the
living
room
and
kitchen
of
the
common
area.
I
was
very
disappointed.
UNH
housing
told
me
that
the
Cottages
is
a
private
company
and
they
have
no
oversight
of
them.
They
therefore
make
their
own
rules
and
have
no
incentive
to
make
it
easy
for
the
students.
For
comparison,
my
other
son
did
a
sublet
for
a
private
studio
in
Manhattan
-
and
also
was
subletting
a
studio
at
WashU
in
St.
Louis
-
both
were
much
easier
and
with
substantially
less
fees
involved.
