Q: My son e-signed a lease for an apt near college. Not going back. Never paid deposit. They wont let him out of lease.
Our financial situation changed. And can’t afford college. Is there any escape for him? They r going to report him to credit agency and make him liable for money. He has never lived in this apt- it was for August. By not giving a deposit-does it make the lease null?
A: They may file an eviction against him, which is supposed to hit his credit but doesn't always. But since he is no longer living there they may decide that he has abandoned the property and not sue him to evict. Without personal knowledge of the apartment and the lease, I can't offer more complete advice than this.
