What is the name of your state? Missouri
I'm going to try and keep this simple. While circumstances dictate that I may be able to dispute the lease as Unconscionable for reasons not mentioned here, I would prefer to not go to court over this.
I signed a lease yesterday, got the key to the new place and returned home. Upon reading the lease and returning to the office a mere 10 minutes later to dispute portions of it, I returned they key, stating that having said item or taking possession of the property would further show my acceptance of the terms, and I refused to do that.
Upon further contemplation, I have decided that I want nothing to do with this landlord any longer, (I have rented from him for three years, and he has done nothing but jerk me around, including forcing me to live without a refrigerator for four weeks), and I wish to rescind my signature and render the contract null and void so that I may live elsewhere.
Since I stated that I was exceedingly unhappy with the lease, as well as stated clearly that I had been tricked into signing it when I went back a mere ten minutes after signing, I think I might have a chance of getting it canceled, however, I would like to know if I have a legal leg to stand on with this.
I plan to return to the office tomorrow (they will be open), and ask to void the lease.
Is there a grace period on rental contracts in Missouri, and if so, how long is it?
Thank you for your time and assistance. *smile*
