Rental Lease

[egriff13]

What is the name of your state?My son just signed a rental lease yesterday in which he gave a check for $1000 for first month's rent and also $1500 for security & maybe last month's rent. He has changed his mind about moving from his current apartment? Can he cancel and get his money bacK? The state is New Jersey.

What does the lease say about cancellation?

I would find out who is the Property Management Company of the Apt's - and call them. If he is dealing with an Independent (owned) Rental unit - that could be a totally different story...But for sure find out who the Property Management Company is and talk to them. He should have copies of what he signed - I hope. With that amount of money involved I do not believe that they would be wrongful - its not worth them going to Court over an applicant that chose to not rent at their property.
Just thoughts.
