Does anyone know, or know where I might find some information on breaking a lease. The apartment is not legal I dont think. And a formal lease was not actually signed, meaning it wasnt typed up or anything. It was basically hand written on paper, signed by the landlord, his wife, my girlfriend and myself. Well it states that we have to occupy the apartment for one year and if we move out, we have to give them 30 days notice, however, the apartment is actually quite unbearable for us to live in and after 2 weeks of living there we wish to terminate the lease and move out. Can our landlord take us to court for this or are we as tenants allowed to break the lease if its before 30 days of signing?
All help would be appreciated
Thank you
Michael
