Question

I paid a deposit and first month rent and now do not want to move in can i get my money back?

Answer 1

You signed the lease and you paid money. That is a binding legal agreement. You will have a very tough time getting out of this because he can legally enforce it. Next time don't sign or pay money if you don't feel right about it.

Answer 2

It does not matter that you never moved in. You signed the lease. She can legally charge you what ever lease break fees are stated in that lease. You are also not entitled to ANY money back.



A lease is legally binding the second you sign it and you forfeit any money paid for breaking it.

Answer 3

Im somewhat at a loss for words as to once you p.c. to pay the 1st month's lease. yet once you pay a deposit it many times in basic terms secures the region for 14 days and in case you dont pay the lease interior that element then you definately lose your deposit and the valuables is positioned back up for lease back. desire that helps answer your question

Answer 4

I am a real estate agent. Basically if you just signed the lease and handed over the checks run and put a stop payment on those checks NOW.



As far as her entering your apartment. She can do this but she has to give you notice. She cannot enter the premises anytime she wants to. She has to notify you. As far as putting up cameras that is a No No.



What type of checks did you give him or her. Were they certified bank checks or personal checks? If they were personal checks HURRY and get a STOP PAYMENT on those checks immediately! If they were bank checks go to your bank right away and see if you can do something fast.

Answer 5

Yes, you supposed to get your money back from deposit because you signed a lease yesterday. It is still good for 3 days. If you are more than 3 days so you will lose the money from deposit. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Search "tenant landlord law + colorado" to learn the laws that apply. Some states have a 3-day period when any contract can be canceled by either party. Others don't allow it. Look them up!



If you are going to fight, then you must find something wrong with the place that makes it uninhabitable. Perhaps the water heater is broken. Or the heat doesn't work. Or it is infested. You have to learn your state laws about habitability.



Your landlord won't install cameras because they will be stolen.



You can also encourage your landlord to agree to let you out of the lease. How? Call her 5 times a day with questions about the apartment and demands that certain things get fixed before you move in. Like the carpet has a stain. Or a window doesn't lock. Or there are some scratches on the cupboards. Or the kitchen has a musty smell. Call and call and call. Demand and demand. And you may find your landlord does not want you for a tenant.

Answer 7

Yes, it is legal for them to come in if the suspect something illegal is going on. But, they wouldn't just come in any time because if they do come in, and nothing illegal is taking place, they have to prove that they had probable cause to enter the premesis.



Also, I'm not sure if there is 3 day recision period for leases in that state. You will want to contact someone affiliated with the state and leases or contracts. You may be able to get out of it, I'm not sure. I would find out soon though because if there is a recision period, it's probably only 3 days.

Answer 8

He does not need it in the lease. The law allows him to inspect for illegal activities in his property.



The camera is not cool though. Lease or no lease he can not install a camera in the living areas, only outside or in common hallways.



Your contract was a valid contract immediately upon signing, you need a court order to get out of it at this point. Usually I would tell you that you will not get your money back, but you actually might. The camera thing violates your civil rights and might be enough to convince a judge that you should not be held to the contract.
