Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Showing an apartment
Why is it that some landlords don't want to show the apartment until AFTER the lease is signed? Is this legal?

RE: Showing an apartment
It is not legal and I am surprised, how people signed the lease before checking the apartment. Recently I found an apartment through Lone Star Realty and I signed the lease agreement after completing my all check regarding the apartment.

It is not legal like Ryan said and I to am shocked that someone would sign a lease before even taking a look at the property. If I was looking to rent or buy something you better believe I am taking a thorough look at it before I sign anything. Truly shocking.

RE: Showing an apartment
so what are my options since I moved into the apartment without seeing it? I am not satisfied with it at all; it's too small. It's hard to believe I did something that dumb. I was in a hurry to move from where I was; it was too rushed. Do I have any legal options now?
