That stinks @yeahdisney. Is your son "allowed" to move in and is choosing not to? Our son's university gave kids the option to stay home (with room/board refund) if all of their classes are online. At the time, my son had 3 in-person classes scheduled. It has now changed to 1. Sigh... but he's still planning to go. I would be upset if you are paying for something you aren't ALLOWED to use. If the dorm is open and he's choosing not to go, then I guess it's a bit of a grey area. It would be nice if they'd refund, but I might still choose to keep him home.
I'm not sure what to do about next year and leases either. My son's school has first and 2nd year students in a dorm. A lot of "the best" houses rent 2 years in advance (so freshmen sign leases for junior year). My son hasn't even started looking yet. Upperclassmen are ALLOWED to live on campus, but not many do. But, like you, I'm somewhat hesitant to sign a lease with so much uncertainty about... everything.
