Me and my fiancé are three weeks into our new loft Apt. all together we paid all deposit and pro rate rent because we moved before the first.. Nov.2011.. when we meet up at the loft to get keys ,pay,sign lease.. he tells us he has no copies and will post it on door.. today is the 14th.. we still have no lease.. I was told to put rent in drop box located behind my building but I see no drop box.. I called landlord to inform him I had the rent to pay.. and couldn't find box.. he said to do a money order and leave in said box that way if its stolen ill have a paper trail and fault wouldn't be on me.. however I'm still holding on to this rent for many different reasons.. things need to be fixed that we discussed upon moving in.. I haven't signed a lease.. and I don't feel comfortable leaving my money accessible to the public.. am I at fault or at risk of anything?
