[quote=Anonymous]OP here. That's all good information. I'm not surprised we are expected to cosign - it's the shared responsibility for rent that is making me the most uncomfortable.

And yes, there are a few companies close to his school that specifically cater to students. These seem to be the most affordable options, but the two I looked at specifically stated in the lease that each tenant was responsible for the entire debt. They also had a very detailed list of fees for damage.

I'm not thrilled by DSS moving off campus this soon. But, I get it. The sophomore housing options tend to be bottom of the barrel. We just gave him the total budget (rent, food, utilities)  and told him to present us with options that didn't exceed what we currently support with meal plan and dorm.

And yes, I know about the least being 12 months. There is a robust sublet market, and DSS knows he will either have to find a place with a 12 month cost that equals the 9 month cost at the dorm or be responsible for managing a sublet.
