    Default Re: Is a Lease Void if the Landlord Won't Give You a Copy

    If your lease is for a specific unit and the landlord is not going to make that unit available to you, it's up to you whether you want to rent a different unit or walk away. You are also now stating that you made unilateral changes to the contract which, if not accepted by the landlord, would constitute their rejection of your counter-offer.

    Sorry, I was not clear. I told the agent to make the change prior to signing. So the contract they sent me has my changes included. Either way it sounds like I can walk away from the lease and have my deposit back right?

    Clause 23. Possession of the Premises
    b. Landlord's failure to deliver possession. - If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the premises to Tenant for any reason not within Landlord's control, including, but not limited to, partial or complete destruction of the premises, Tenant will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon proper notice as required by law. In such event, Landlord's liability to Tenant will be limited to the return of all sums previously paid by Tenant to Landlord.
    Thank you.
