What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
Hello - I was planning to rent a house to several renters. I showed them the house and we agreed verbally that (1) we would sign the written lease later in the month and (2) that they could move in early December. We have not collected a security deposit. They are good guys and we wanted to rent them the place, but I learned that we have to take the house off the rental market.
While we had not signed the lease nor had we collected a deposit from them, we did tell them verbally they could rent the location. We have since informed them that the property is off the rental market. Are we liable for anything?
