If I sign a lease but do not exchange money is the lease valid and do I have to move in the apt?

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.


Can an apartment lease be renewed without a signature?

As you know a signed lease is a contract between you and the landlord and unless you are lucky enough to have an understanding landlord and you have a very, very good reason to break this contract then you are responsible for the agreement in that contract. Usually people have to pay the first and last months rent and possibly a damage deposit and you may lose that. You have tied up the landlord from renting to someone else, so it would be to your best interest to offer to let him/her keep the first months rent. Talk to the new landlord and hopefully your reasons for not moving in are valid and you just haven't found a better place to move too. You may just get lucky.


Do you have to pay a penalty if you break your lease to move out of state?

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.


Can one tenant terminate a month-to-month rental agreement in order to keep out another cohabitant on the lease agreement without the consent of the other tenant and still reside in the property?

No, only the owner of the property would be able to break the agreement assuming the landlord had valid reason(s) for taking the action.


What if you break your lease because of bedbugs?

Bedbugs are not covered as pests in standard pest control/extermination. Therefore if you break your lease because of the presence of bed bugs, then you're breaking your lease without valid reason, and can face the consequences resulting thereof.

If you signed a lease and did not pay a security deposit is it valid?

Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.

Is a lease valid if it has the wrong date on it?

If the landlord accepts your rent and you pay it, after the lease is signed, then it generall doesn't matter whether it's properly dated. If the lease was supposed to be for a specific period such as one year and the date was omitted, that could benefit either party depending on the circumstances.

Can a landlord change terms of lease after its been signed?

Most leases will have a provision on it that the landlord can make some changes on the lease with a notice of at least 30-days before the next rent is due. But these changes cannot be radical.


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?

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.
