Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

lease agreement

I signed a lease agreement with a girl and her mother gave a check for $500 deposit. Then she called asking me to hold the check. Now I am uncomfortable with the agreement. Can I cancel the lease agreement?

Re: lease agreement

That depends upon the lease agreement, and your landlord. Read the contract, does it give you any period of time, or method, for terminating the lease? You might want to discuss the situation with the landlord, to determine if he will let you off the hook (possibly with a penalty). If so, get the release in writing. Otherwise you signed a contract, probably jointly and severally liable, and are bound by the terms of the contract.
