Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Maryland

Lease agreement - 3 day right of recission?
On a Thursday - week #1, I gave a deposit to a landlord to hold an apartment. The following Friday, I signed lease agreement and first months rent with required deposits (dog, common area deposits, etc.). Within 2 hours, notified apartment agent that I wanted to cancel agreement and not rent for the 6 month period. Agent informs me that the 3 day recission rule a)applies only to the initial deposit to hold the property (week #1) and, b)once the lease is signed the 3 day rule does not apply and I must give him the required notice (30 days, which essentially is the first month rent. Subsequent to our discussion after informing them of my desire to cancel... I put a stop payment on the check which prevented the cash movement. Any thoughts on my right to access the 3 day recission rule or other? Thanks.
