Terminating lease before move in
I signed a lease a month ago to move in July 1. On June 25th I lost my job and called on the 26th to the new place (private owner) and asked for my deposit back. I was told they would not pursue me for the 1year but would use up my deposit (1.5 months) until it was rented and they would return any left over monies if it rented within 6 weeks. I said I would be okay with losing 2 weeks but not the whole deal. There is no clause about early termination in the lease. I called 4 days before the move in date to cancel. Can they take my lease?
