We have a rental house located in Pleasanton, CA that was recently leased to a person who was moving in from out of town. Because of this she sent the first months rent and security deposit with out seeing the house, except for a picture of the outside that was taken by a friend of hers. To make a long story short, she signed the lease before actually seeing the inside of the house. After she signed the lease and was given access to the premises, she backed out of the agreement.
We held the house for three weeks assuming that she would move in. Quickly after we were informed that she wanted out, we contacted the other people who were interested and found a new renter within 10 days. As such we withheld rent for the first half of August.
Is this legal?
