Today as a second year college student I signed my first lease as a co-signer.
However, I made a huge mistake in signing a lease out of desperation to have a place to stay next year and not rationality.
My problem is that I went in to sign a fall lease asking only for a fall lease and was pressured into getting a lease for two months that I do not need by the property manager. I expressed apprehension and balked at the idea many times saying that I only need the lease I came for however, somehow out of intimidation I brought myself to sign two leases. The leasing agent and property manager both kept telling me that the fall lease was the wrong choice for me, and not answering my questions in a direct way.
This all doesnt matter I suppose because I signed a lease which said anything communicated orally cannot be used to terminate the lease.
I hope that one loophole does exist in that my parents are the co-signers because I have no credit history. They have not signed any of their forms and refuse to. The lease was signed earlier today and no exchanges have been made other than my signing of the lease. I went back later and was rudely told that the lease could not just be voided, even though I came in 2 hours later.
The lease attempts to rule out anyway that I could terminate the lease, but everything is worded terribly. I am just wondering if there are any rules set in stone that could give me a legal advantage of any sort.
