Your tenancy begins as soon as the home is "handed" over to you, as signaled by the passing of the key(s) to the unit, not upon the signing of the lease. So if your landlord doesn't give you the key, you can rescind your agreement and demand your money back if you paid it.

Leases are legally binding and your landlord can take you to court to recover the rent payments for the duration of the lease. The breach will appear on your credit record and make it more difficult for you to rent in the future. You will also lose your security deposit.

You should check your lease for an early termination clause. You should honestly explain your situation, appeal for sympathy, and ask for the landlords cooperation in allowing you to break the lease early. You could negotiate a sum for allowing you to leave early, make up a payment schedule and stick to it.

Can you break your lease if they break into your apartment?

If your landlord breaks into your apartment or enters it without notifying you, this is grounds to break a lease. You can't break a lease just because there was a break in, however. Landlords are not even legally required to tell you if you are moving into a high crime area. If you can prove this is an ongoing and pervasive problem , it may be grounds to break your lease. Get real documentation, not just hearsay.Police reports and other victims or witnesses.

You have signed an application for an apartment and given the deposit and also the first month is it possible to cancel it?

If you have not signed a lease then yes, you are not tied down. But you may lose your deposit and/or your hold. But you should be refunded your first month's rent. If you have signed the lease than its a diffrent story. You can not back out of a lease unless the appartment ownership lets you. It is noramally a large fee (around $3500 in some instances).
