Is verbal & emailed copy of commercial lease binding without signature?
Saw a commercial property on Monday, in New Hampshire. Told landlord I would take it. He told me he would email me a copy of the lease and then get me the keys. (no money yet exchanged) Received an email of the lease with all of our information placed in it. Was told move in date of Aug, 1st- he would put in new carpet, etc. We covered all the details. We were supposed to exchange signatures and money tomorrow but he just informed me (after I called to set up a time) that he showed it to someone else and may rent to them even though he had already committed to me.
Does he have any binding or legal commitment to rent to me as we had a verbal agreement and he emailed me my lease?
