Here is the situation in brief:
Landlord and tenant signed lease, and agreed landlord's realtor would deliver keys to property upon receipt of payment of security deposit and 1st month's rent. (Landlord lives a couple hours drive away.)
Tenant lied to realtor claiming he had given a check to the landlord, and realtor turned over keys.
Tenant moved in, and after a week, has evaded all phone calls and has not paid rent.
Question: If there has been NO payment, is it possible to rescind or nullify the lease and thereby abbreviate the eviction process?
