Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Backing out of a Lease Agreement Before deposit given

I signed a lease agreement but at the time of signing no deposit was given. I then changed my mind and found a different place to lease, I called the lady whom I signed the first lease agreement with to let her know I didn't want the house, but now she wants me to pay for the advertising and the days the place goes without being rented. Can she legally do this?
