My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Ohio
I found a place I would rather move in to but i already signed a lease with a move in date of september 15th. It is now july 7th. I have not payed a security deposit yet and i received a call from my land lord saying that if i did not pay it they would put the apartment back up on the market. Since i do not wish to live there and they already threatened to break the lease if i did not pay the security deposit, can i legally break the lease without being responsible for the rent?
