There is a fumigation fee at the end of the semester ($100 I believe), not sure if it applies to a caged animal or not.
One more thing, about that "fumigation fee": whether you live in a dorm or any other rental that allows pets, OR any that has any chance of getting "bugs" (which is
pretty much ALL rentals), when they fumigate a place, they may not take into account any pets living there, especially if it's not typical. The chemicals used are lethal
to bugs, but also to snakes & other small pets, and you may or may NOT be forewarned to house your pet elsewhere for a few days when this fumigation is done.

Many years ago I shared an apartment while in college. Someone in the building had a cat (that they weren't supposed to have) & that cat's fleas infested the ENTIRE
building, all apartments. While I was in class one day they came & fumigated the building without any advance warning...I came home to a dead pet hamster. When
you remember just how much many people dislike snakes, they just might harm your pet intentionally too. Please check & re-check as to whether such spraying might
happen without warning.
