Moved into an apt on 4/1/06 with a 6 month lease. Now want to move out at end of lease and mgr said I signed lease for 7 months. This was never disclosed to me and I didn't catch the 7 month timeframe written on the lease. Is this legal to write up a lease for a different timeframe than verbally agreed upon?

October 31 should be your lease end. So if states November 1st. on the lease that is actually your full 180 day lease.
But please read your agreements before you sign anything. Take your time. No law says must be signed within 5 seconds of delivery in hand. Take it home to read. Remember that the next time.

I'm sorry but when you sign any type of contract including a lease agreement, it is up to you to read it. If you have signed it then it is a legal and binding contract.
Further more, you had better read your copy and see what it says about moving out. They can be charged if you do not give notice even if your lease is up.

sadly, whatever is legal is true whenever you signed the lease agreement. even though you may ahve verbally agreed on a 6 month lease, the landlord may have changed that to months without you knowing. and without knowing, if you signed the lease for 7 months, legally you're there for 7 months.

NOT WRITTEN NOT SAID. Doesn't matter is the landlord told you the room was made out of green cheese, it's what's writen and signed upon. Sorry you didn't catch it, but there is no recourse except to break the lease.

It may have been an honest mistake on the landlord's part, but you signed the lease so you are stuck. But at least you'll be all packed when it is time to go.

You should always read what your signing. I would say you signed it and that will stand up in any legal situation better than a verbal agreement. Sucks you were hoodwinked. But a great learning experience for you.

This is why we always read what we put our signature on, especially expensive things like apartment leases and car loans.

If you signed it, you made the mistake. Didn't anyone ever tell you to read something before you sign it. It was disclosed to you, you just failed to read.
