Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in South Carolina
uninhabitable apartment
i signed a lease for an apartment, sight-
unseen. when i saw it today it was
filthy and uninhabitable. i left
immediately. i called the landlord and
left a message to say they needed to
find me another apartment. can i break
the lease, which i signed on friday;
today is sunday. is there anything else i
need to do?

Re: uninhabitable apartment
Did you leave a deposit or rent? Did you pay by check? Have you stopped payment on check?
I would need to read the lease to advise you on the law. Are you alone on the lease?
