Re: rescission notice
Since a lease is a contract, and the recission doctrine applies to contracts, the technical answer to your question is "yes."
But I don't think that helps you analyze your problem. Perhaps you should post more facts or consult an attorney.
Re: rescission notice
Interesting question, without a definitive answer.
Rescission has seldom been used in this area of law, but technically goes to the law of contracts.
Generally one must have a defense to the contract, such as fraud, mistake, concealment of facts, etc. Without knowing your situation, it would be hard to answer. The key issue would be miscalculation or misrepresentation of a specific fact.
I hope this generic answer gives you what you are looking for.
