RE: Breaking a lease
Denise: Have you signed your lease yet? If not, then you most likely would forfeit any monies you gave as a deposit, depending on what the application or any receipt states; but would not be held ot the lease contract. BUT if you DID sign the lease, then depending on your state's law, you could be held to the contract and responsible for all rental payments until the landlord may obtain another tenant.
