It would appear to me that you would like to resend your agreement to the lease. This is not necessarily an eminent domain case. I think you would be better off going to landlord, stating that you have an opportunity for other accommodations and would like to avail yourself of them and therefore not move-in. It may be that you will be liable for some monies, perhaps lose your security deposit, and possibly be liable for the time it takes for the landlord to re-rent it. If you will not agree, then lease for the year and then seek alternate accommodations if you are not willing to pay the damages occasioned by or breach.
