My jurisdiction is: California
I recently was informed by my private college that I would have to live in a temporary triple(AKA forced triple/ three people in a room planned for two), and I am unwilling to deal with this situation. However, I signed a license agreement that stated that I would pay for my year unless I informed them before June 1. I was informed of the situation on August 3.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, the sooner the better because I need to move in soon.

The main part of the license agreement that I am questioning is :
COLLEGE POLICIES:
The College will, when necessary:
1. Require the Student to move to other accommodations in order to vacate a building, floor, or wing or for other reasons as decided by the College;
2. Adjust room assignments so that when vacancies occur in a double room, the remaining resident must either consolidate with another resident at the direction of the College or pay the pro-rated cost for a single room;
3. Exercise such emergency procedures as are necessary;
4. Inspect all rooms on a semesterly basis for purposes of inventory, maintenance, safety and health factors. Students will receive advanced notification of the health and safety inspections. The College reserves the right to inspect all rooms with or without the resident being present.
I do not believe that creating a forced triple, when I agreed to a double, falls under any of those categories.
