What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? new york
My son signed a lease March 20,2010 and the lease started April 1, 2010. He lived there for a couple of months then moved out. We sent a 60 day notice of termination to the landlord.
I just found out that a certificate of occupancy was NOT issued until APRIL 6th 2010 .This is AFTER he signed the lease and AFTER the date of the beginning of the lease.
My questions are: 1 is this a valid lease? 2: According to the lease we are supposed to pay for the 2 months of the termination. Is this still valid?
3: It states that since we terminated the lease we forfeit the security deposit- is that invalid and can I get that back?
4.he did not live in the apartment since Aug. 25th. We paid september's rent because the landlord threatened a law suit. Can we get septembers rent back if this lease is invalid?
