This comes after reports from students and parents trying to move in to the complex said that the facilities were damaged, had mold, and had not been cleaned properly.

They say they are ready to fix these problems and move forward with leases. However parents of several students are still saying an apology is not enough and they want their money back.

The Commons say they have been working with local restaurants to provide gift cards and other concessions for residents who experienced move in difficulty.
