Anyone have experience renting from Nels Student Housing?

Hi all. I’m going into my junior year @ UD with a random roommate and I’m incredibly stressed out about it. There is a renter that I’ve been looking at instead called Nels Student Housing that would be a) cheaper than university housing and b) I would not have a roommate. I am concerned about possible issues with the landlord, including maintenance repair times. I’m female too so I’m not keen on doing a walkthrough in these locations by myself / worried about how this landlord interacts with women. Any advice or past experience would be appreciated. Thank you

PS I did request a housing assignment change from UD if possible and have been waitlisted for it.

He’s nice to women but takes FOREVER to respond and also cheaps you out of your security deposit

What do you mean by “cheaps out”?
