A lease IS a contract. If you did not sign it, you do not have a lease.

Well, there is nothing to stop you from breaking the lease, however, the renter does not necessarily have to give you back the deposit (if there was a deposit required).

Can i get my deposit back on a house if i haven t moved in yet but i have signed the lease the house is nowhere near being ready to move in yet i was told it would be do i wait or go somewhere else?

Does the lease say it would be ready by now? If the landlord has not fulfilled his end of the contract, you shouldn't be obligated to uphold yours. You should probably speak with a local attorney. If the lease doesn't actually specify a move-in date, then it's trickier. Again, you should speak with an attorney.


Can a landlord demand a higher deposit AFTER the lease has been signed and the check for deposit written into lease has been cashed if you have not moved in yet?

Generally speaking, after the release has been mutually signed, it is in effect, and the terms of it cannot be changed. Once the lease has been signed by both parties and the keys have been turned over to you, the tenant, the dwelling then is considered to be in your possession. As such, the landlord cannot turn around and demand a higher deposit. However, in most states, there is a rule of abandonment: if you have not moved into your dwelling in 15 days, and the rent is due, then the landlord can construe this as abandonment and can take possession of the property immediately without judicial proceedings.


Would cosigning before my daughter signs the rental contact still obligate me to pay for rental fees when she hasn't even moved in yet?

No, as there is no contract until both parties involved on your end have signed the contract.


Can you terminate your apartment lease due to no heat?

You need to check the contract you signed before you moved in. It will list all the obligations imposed on your landlord and this usually includes making sure you have hot water, heating etc. Even if the contract does not mention this - in UK law this obligation is usually implied by statute. However, just because he is liable to ensure you have this facility will not mean you can immediately terminate your lease if, say, your boiler breaks down. Obligations imposed on you by the contract will probably include immediately informing the landlord of any problems with utilities such as these and therefore allowing him the opportunity to fix it for you. If, however, you have repeatedly told him you have no heating and he has repeatedly ignored you then you may have a good case for terminating your lease. But you have to tell him about the problem first and give him the chance to remedy it.


What should you do if you had to break a lease as you had to leave the country and now you are back and you got a letter from a collection agency stating you owe 7 months of rent?

Contact the person who is sending the collection agency after you. Tell them that you had to break the lease because you had to leave the country. See if they can work out a payment plan with you. I know that my husband and my lease says that if we move out before our lease is up we have to continue to pay rent until our contract is up or until the place is rented out. Which ever comes first. They did not tell us that when we moved in, I just read it in our contract. Good luck:)
