A: A lawyer would need to review the emails to give you an answer, with any degree of certainty, , but if you did not sign a lease with signatures of all the parties you may be out of luck. Again have a lawyer review your documents. Of course expect to pay a lawyer for his time and advise and I suggest your speak with a real estate/contract lawyer.
