1/2 tenants + landlord sign lease, is it binding if tenant 2 has not signed yet? contract not even 24hrs old..
Answer:
Go see a local attorney asap, as you want to get your money back if possible. Renting a dwelling includes a warrant that the place is habitable and livable. If the property does not meet your state's and county's laws, the partially signed contract may be void. Contracts are also invalid or voidable for other reasons including fraud, deception, lack of licensure, etc. Your attorney can review the contract, and your facts to dtermine what rights or liabilities you have.
In the future, always examine the property during the day and at night, before signing.
What city and state is this in?
If it is in NJ and your lease is for a year or more, you can get out of it within 3 business days by having an attorney cancel the lease on your behalf.
How did your boyfriend sign a lease and hand over $4,000 for a "filthy infested death trap" without noticing?
If I were you, I would go to a landlord/tenant attorney today and get their opinion on how to get HIM out of this mess. Since you neither signed nor moved in, you are off the hook.
