Strange she signed the lease already and is not scheduled to move in until July 1st. Is she absolutely sure it was the lease she signed. I am an apartment manager and several times people thought that they signed the lease when in reality they only signed the application. She should contact NAA (National Apartment Association) they will be able to help her. In my opinion, if the lease does not start till July then she should be able to back out of it. She will probably loose the security deposit though.

You pass over the component of a hire nevertheless. A hire isn't month to month renting allowing you to easily provide observe and go away. A hire is a legally binding settlement to lease for a particular length of time. no one is going to fault you for picking a clean possibility you sense is physically powerful on your life and you choose to do it. choose for it, purely understand you have a settlement to lease for a undeniable quantity of time and the owner is entitled to their money. If there grew to become into no hire and you have been purely in a month to month condominium settlement (on paper or without documentation in any respect) then 30 days written observe could suffice. In different words, you owe this money and there is not any getting out of it. they are able to and could in all probability sue you for something of the bills to the top of the hire and you may lose.

I have moved out of apartments before the lease was up lots of times and nothing was ever said to me. I would think that the owners of the property would try to scare her into paying, but they probably won't bother with court or anything because of having to pay out so much. If they did decide to push it that far, she could probably get out of it. I would say worse case scenario, she will lose her deposit.

Nope. They cannot terminate the lease just because they never occupied the unit. The landlord is correct.

This should be covered in their lease agreement, most places do have some kind of penalty you have to pay.

if they due they will definatly lose their deposit and most likely have a law suit on their hands. It depends on how far the landlord wants to take it.
