I was going to move into a house with 3 other people in it as a subtenant. The subleasor had me sign a sublease agreement, but unfortunately I was not able to move in on the date specified in the sublease (due to construction delays). When I looked at my copy of the lease the landlord had not signed it yet, and later the subleasor sent me a copy with the landlord's signature at a date after the move in date. Is it not binding if the landlord signed it after the move in date on the sublease?

Hello Bobby:

When the landlord signed it has nothing to do with its legality.

However, if you told us what's going on, we can give better advice than that.

It should be binding from whatever date is indicated on the lease. If you paid a rent advance based on the original intended "move-in" date but were delayed and that delay is subsequently reflected on the lease, then the rent should be prorated to the actual date of move-in or at least the date that's on your lease. That should mean getting back a bigger chunk of your deposits when you move out ; be sure to get it all in writing.
