when I could move in. We had a movein date of 8/15/09 and the cu

Legal Answer
Perhaps instead of asking if you are entitled to view the prior tenants lease, you and the landlord can discuss any compensation the landlord might owe to you if he failed to turn over possession of the property to you as stated in YOUR lease. You lease operates as an agreement between you and your landlord that describes the terms of the agreement that you BOTH would be obligated to fulfil. I don't know from what you have described what the landlord's obligation was and if you sustained any losses. I'm mearly suggesting that you try and focus on the real issue whether or not you ever get to see the prior tenants lease.
