I live in Michigan. Back in 1998, in the beginning of a VERY stressful and emotionally exhuasting divorce, I thought it necessary to find an apartment to rent, leaving my children with thier father. That alone tells you just how off the wall my ability to think was, at the time. I signed a years lease < I think it was for a year> for a 2 bedroom apartment. I saw the apartment once and was given the keys the following day, but never returned to the apartment. Instead, I was advised to get a divorce lawyer, which I did that day, and he advised me to return the keys to the apartment, this all occurred in the same week. The landlord insisted I owe her a years rent, stating she could not rent it out. I have since found out that there was no potable water in this unit, only bottled water could be used for consumption and cooking. Now this outrageous fee is in the hands of a collection agency....do I have to pay??
