QUESTION
If I never signed the lease is it binding?
Asked on May 17th, 2012 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
I live in upstate NY. I never signed the lease sent via email to me for the 2nd year I'm renting with my landlady. She told me it's still legally binding, but how can that be? I want to move out a month earlier than the lease would have required, but she is holding me accountable. Is this legal for her to do?

If you stay on past your lease, then except for the term, which becomes month-to-month, the Lease terms still control. Read it carefully.
