Q: We signed a lease but have not moved in yet. We haven't paid first month lease amount. Are we able to get out
Leasing agent told us 1210 but they put 1220 on our lease we are supposed to move 10/24 but possibility of 10/21 if they send us new lease can we get out of it with new date?
A: You'll have to work it out with landlord. If you signed a lease, then fail to move in and pay rent, landlord can sue you for breach of the lease. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney who can review the lease and all the facts, and then advice you of your options and try to resolve it with landlord.
