What is the name of your state? pa
My friends and I signed for a house at college for the fall. We have 4 spots and signatures on the lease but 5 people in the house. The landlord told us it was ok to do this but we just found out that the girls before us had to go to court because they got caught and it is against borough rules. We wrote a letter to the borough telling them the situation and telling them we wanted to break the lease. The landlord lied and said he didnt know the 5th girl was there. The girl had her rent receipts and they won but now we dont want to live there and go through that. We didnt know it was illegal. Is the contract void because theres 5 of us and only 4 spots? Can we break the lease, it doesnt start till june 1st 2004? The landlord said he'd allow us to as long as we found 5 more people but we dont feel it is our responsibility to do this and we dont want to set up anyone to get screwed.help!!! The borough inspector advised us to sign another lease to make sure we had somewhere to live next year, we're on 2 leases now!!
