Backing out of lease after signing, before moving?

If it's correct to assume the broker is creating a problem for you, this is not unusual. Should the landlords office be acting in a manner that is actionable and offensive, then a negotiation should be capable of letting you out of a lease. That allowance would be made by ownership to prevent any bad publicity or difficulty which there insistance in you're moving in would create and bring about an action against them. Everything is negotiable and u can certainly buy yourself out of the lease, but the amount asked may not be worth it. If you have signed a binding lease, with all the elements of a contract intact, then you are bound to work-it-out. Good luck.

The broker was acting nasty - we let it slide, and she's now out of the picture. It's now the turn of the leasing office to act nasty. We'll see - we have time with them this Friday to work it out. We'd like to stay, but this leasing office is creating such a caustic environment that we are reconsidering ...
