How Can I Get Out Of This Apartment Lease?
I’m a student who is moving to college this fall.
I viewed the apartment once (because I live almost 2 hours away) when the resident was still there and signed the lease on 6/22.
The starting date of the lease (which the landlord filled in AFTER I signed it) is 8/1 and ends a year later.
I’ve paid the deposit and JULY’S rent, even though it doesn’t start until August.
The apartment is terrible without all the coverings of the last resident. I came and saw it again last week and it is awful, butr I couldn’t say anything. The bedroom doesn’t have any lights (except a tiny sconce hooked to the wall, which seems to be there to fufill housing req.) and neither does the living area (filled with nasty lamps).
The only loophole I can see is that the town requires that buildings have heating to keep the dwelling at at least 65 deg. While the apt only has one tiny radiator. The lease says the res. has to keep the apt at 65 deg.?
HELP!
I’ve never done this before.
once u sign the lease ur bound to the full terms. i would just speak about your concerns so they can be heard and hopefully the landlord can rectify the situation beforehand. if u didnt like what the problems and noticed them beforehand why did u sign the lease? u shoudlve told himto fix them and then u wouldve signed the lease. those are not good enough reasons to break the lease.
