Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
Lease Execution
When is a lease agreement
considered a legally executed
document? Two leases were signed
by the landlord to two separate
parties. Party A received the lease
for review two weeks before Party B.
Party B signed and delivered the
lease with payment a week before
Party A. Does Party A have any legal
right to the property?

Re: Lease Execution
Both Leases are technically valid and the Landlord has the problem unless there is a limit for signature and return to the landlord or the landlord terminated his offer of lease before A returned the lease.
A has a claim for breach of lease against the Landlord.
