Sorry, but she has every right to hold you legally accountable for the monthly rent until the unit is rerented. You are breaking a legal contract, there is no grace period, or time to change your mind once you have agreed in writing. --Previous Message-- : : I copy and pasted this from the LTB website: : : Commencement of tenancy : : 13. (1) The term or period of a tenancy : begins on the day the tenant is entitled to : occupy the rental unit under the tenancy : agreement. 2006, c. 17, s. 13 (1). : : Actual entry not required : : (2) A tenancy agreement takes effect when : the tenant is entitled to occupy the rental : unit, whether or not the tenant actually : occupies it. 2006, c. 17, s. 13 (2). : : From what I understand from this your : tenancy starts when you signed the lease, : not when you move in, but there must be a : way out of it! : But I am not an expert, best to call the : tenant hotline on this website or the LTB : phone number. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi, : : I signed a lease yesterday in haste to get : out of a bad living situation.
