If you signed, the lease is binding. You don't have to move in, but you do have to pay the rent. The landlord has an obligation to try to rent the place, but until he does, you have to pay.

This depends on the terms of your lease. Normally breaking a lease for any reason is grounds for the landlord to keep your deposit. If there are valid grounds for breaking the lease and the landlord keeps your deposit you can sue him for the amount he kept.

No, unless the landlord can rent the unit to someone else before the rental period starts. The tendering of money in exchange for the keys created a contract.

well, if the land lord broke the lease, then you are not responsible and do not have to pay, because it is not you but the land lord. if you move out of the house before the lease is over, then the money you gave the land lord beforehand will stay and you will have to pay more money, which is the amount of money that you woul've paid if you didn't break the lease!

Can you break a lease in Utah if you are moving out of state for work?
You can break a lease to move for work--but the landlord has the rights noted in the lease. Providing 30 days notice and talking to him about the reasons for your move may reduce the money they expect for you to pay to get out of the lease. If you have a letter of employment from the new job may help. A job in the military is usually the only work-related reason for getting out of a lease early.

Can a landlord change his mind and tell you to leave before money is exchanged?

Can an apartment complex change a lease prior to the recent one expiring without a new one being signed?
Generally speaking, once the lease is executed by both parties, money exchanged (rent is paid with any deposits to move in), and a key is issued to the tenant, the lease may not be changed. If the landlord later wants to change the terms of the new lease, he has the right to do so: the tenant has the right to sign or reject it and move out.

You are trying to get out of your lease Under the amendments to the lease section says This lease will not be in effect until all pymts are made you have not made all the payments Is your lease valid?
What payments are you referring to? It sounds as if the clause refers to the preliminary payments that are often secured PRIOR to allowing the tenant to move in and the lease actually going into effect (i.e.: security deposit - pet deposit - utility deposits - etc). If you've been living there and the payments you are referring to are your rental payments - too late - the lease is already in full effect.
