Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: lease

Generally, once the lease has been signed, it is a contract. The tenant is obligated to pay the rent for the entire period of the lease. However, if the lease had just been signed, and if the landlord had notice almost immediately after the lease was signed, there should have been a way to work out a cancellation of the lease.

Is your daughter of legal age to enter into contracts? If not, the lease is voidable and not binding.

Otherwise:

Did your daughter give her notice to the Landlord in writing? Did the Landlord acknowledge receipt of the notice? Have they had any discussions about ending the lease and your daughter getting her money back?

If the Landlord agrees to let her out of the lease, she should get something in writing from the Landlord that ends the lease and releases her from any obligations under the lease.
