    Is my lease Binding.
    Hi I just have a question concerning a Rental lease that I signed... I want to know if I can be held to this lease because The names of the occupants are wrong, the person that is listed on the lease is no longer an occupant... and the person that is on there isn't so I'm wondering if it is a binding lease can I be held to it.

    The lease can still be binding to you, as you are listed on the lease.

    Children are not bound by a lease, they are not the signers, the adult(s) are.

    Yes if your name is on the lease you are bound to it.

    Whether there were people excluded from the document. You name is listed on the lease and you have agreed to the terms of the lease.
