<p>Students would not be paying that rent for 9 months, but for a year. Summer sublets most of the time are for a discount, particularly if the rent is high, and you would have to expect that would not be able to “fill” all those units in the summer. So rent might be more like $1600 a month in the end, and plus utilities? Agree that this would contribute to “haves and have nots”, as well as being ugly!</p>
