My question is in reference to off campus Room and Board. Specifically for the Room part of the topic.
Since my Student is renting an apartment off campus because the school my student is attending does not offer any kind of Room and Board. Is the Rental Application Fees (Parents Cosigining and Student will be the tenant) to acquire rental considered a Qualified Expense since it was a necessary expense to acquire "Room"? How about Security Deposit Fees which was also necessary to acquire "Room"? Note: The rental manager mentioned that we won't get security deposit back, because it was considered cost to prep the "Room" for the next renters once our lease was up.
