Re: Breaking a Lease within 24 Hours

Presuming the lease is valid, no other legal

theory exists to back out of the lease, and the

way to just walk away from such a contract. Depending

on the circumstances, the Landlord's damages may

be minimal, but I would presume any security deposit

would be lost.
