a tenant formerly is given a lease to sign...waits to sign actual lease until 3 months later...Landlord is stil accepting rent without question, month to month... The tenant finally signs lease 3 months later...what point is the lease agreement in effect?

Answer 1

Lease is valid as of the date on the document. The month-to-month deal was an arrangement outside the legal confines of the lease agreement. A point should be made that the lease agreement supercedes all other informal agreements regarding the rented property.
