Do you have an occupancy plan? Do you enforce it with women who have signed and paid a lease elsewhere? (Knowing that they usually choose to resign rather than deal with the problem of subletting and move in.)

Yes, it's written in the Bylaws and House Rules and it varies from chapter to chapter. Some chapters have a minimum number of years live-in requirements. Other chapters have it written that you are required to live-in every year unless you live locally with your parents or are an RA in the dorms. Some chapters get members to commit to house leases as early as October for the following year so they don't sign apartment leases. Once the house is full, there is an order in which the girls are able to live out, again specifically stated in the bylaws and house rules

Do you require exec to live in?
Yes and no. It depends on the number of beds in the house on which exec members are required to live-in. Small houses (defined specifically by our HQ) are required to only have 3 specific officers live in. Houses with more beds (again, defined) are required to have the President and all VPs live in but not all officers

How do you fill spaces for those who want a semester's housing only because they are student teaching second semester? Girls that are student teaching locally typically live in the house. They still need to live somewhere. We have had members who know they will be studying abroad, sign one-semester leases and split the year with another member. That is a chapter by chapter decision

Do you charge a move-out fee?If you mean, "break their lease", that is a legal action not a move-out fee. If you mean you charge them when their lease is up, the answer is no.
