Re: Rental Lease Agreement

Your initials will be argued by the landlord to indicate acceptance of the lease. If you want you should try to negotiate with the landlord or retain an attorney to do so for you. If you would like to contact my office, please do so.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

If you never signed the Lease Agreement then you cannot be held responsible for more than a month to month rent if that is how your rent is paid. 30 days notice should be sufficient. Be forewarned, however, that the landlord may suggest that your initials indicate your approval and are your signature on the lease. If so, it will be up to a judge to decide.
