Q: Can I get out of the least before moving in?
I signed the least to a new rental house, but realized there’s a lot of issues and broken things in the house, many cracks and water damage stains on ceiling... etc after walk through, agent is not very nice about issues and it’s worrisome for me, is it too late for us to back out of the least or we are stuck?
A:
You signed a lease for a residential rental without looking at the place and then found there were issues with the condition of the property??? The rental agent is giving you problems and you have not even moved in?? Have you given a deposit? You should discuss these issues with a local RE attorney working in the area of Tenant's rights. This does not sound like a LL/Tenant match made in Heaven. You may have good cause to rescind the contract if the condition problems are significant. But from this post, cannot tell. Attorney would have to review the lease and discuss conditions with you. Do you have photos? BTW- it is "LEASE" not "least" (which means "smallest amount").
