Breaking a residential lease
We signed a lease and paid a security deposit but have not moved in nor has the rental period started yet. What would be the penalty for backing out of the lease at this point?

Read the provisions to the lease you signed.
Normally, you cannot get out, and the best way to handle this is to call landlord and renegotiate.
