Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

There is no right of rescission on contracts like a lease or agreement of sale for real property. The time to think about it and get legal counsel is before signing.

You can certainly try to cancel and get your money back. In a down market with few tenants seeking to rent, the landlord will probably be disinclined to allow you to back out.

This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.

* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.

* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
