can I get my security check back after I signed lease?
By
I signed a lease on a apartment and gave the security check. I won’t move in for 5 weeks. After looking into the area and complex, I found it to be not to my liking. I reconsidered the apartment and don’t want to move in. I called the manager and asked to have my check back. She said I could. Will I have any problems with this?

you may have a problem because you signed a lease…and depending on how long you signed it for a year or six months etc..if you take them to court you will probably lose since your signiture is on there. Now don’t get me wrong….there are some people that will give it back to you because of good nature…but technically they can keep that money. That is why it is called SECURITY deposit….it secures them to some type of payment.

You signed the lease, you are stuck with it or you will have to break the lease, in which case, mostly likely a judgement will be found against you. With most landlords checking credit and such this will show up and will be very difficult for you to ever rent again.
I can’t believe that the manager would give you back your security deposit back, since they don’t have to.
