It is a yearly lease.

Without reading your lease specifically I can not answer your question, it is not within the 30-day window but given that your lease actually expires there may be an exception in the lease.

Without seeing the entire contract, I could not speculate on the legality of the non-refundable clause. It will also depend on whether or not the dance studio is alleging that you breached one of their terms. I would advise sitting down with a local attorney and seeing what they think of the case...

You did agree to pay for the entire term, but if they cannot provide the service you contracted for, they breache your contract. I am assuming you signed up for an automatic bank draft or automatic credit card payment. Depending upon how much you are paying, you may decide to just let it roll... Read more »

Without seeing the recorded documents, I couldn't give any opinion as to what could happen. But I suspect that they cannot void the contract, and your husband can refinance. My advice is to have a local real estate attorney look at the documents and give you a formal opinion.

There is, however, a time limit on you filing a civil suit against him for breach of contract and fraud.
