Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in North Carolina
hello.
I wanted to know if my landlord mad a typo on the lease saying our lease was from oct 1st 2012 and ended sep 28th 2012, can she sue me if i wanted to break the lease being that by HER terms with the dates _we moved out before we even moved in? also, doesn't that mean we're basically leasing on a month-to-month lease since there was a date typo on the landlords behalf?
thanks in advance for your help.
you can email me back at [email protected]

Probably not. There is a concept under the law called a mutual mistake, if both parties knew the lease was to be for a year and the LL accidentally put 2012 instead of 2013, the Court would hold that the lease meant 2013. Because the lease ended before it started, you would have a hard time showing that you never intended to have a year lease.
