    Exclamation Termination of the Contract After Landlord Decided to Change the Contract

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Pennsylvania
    We signed the contract with the landlord and pay the security deposit with check. After about one week, landlord called and said they made an error in the contract and we have to resign it. Feeling very unsatisfied with the whole process, we canceled the check since they haven't cashed it.
    Question: Can we cancel the contact now?

    You should have clarified in writing before cancelling the check they were modifying the original contract. They could potentially claim you broke it by cancelling the check. Unless the contract allowed for minor revision without resigning, it is a new contract they are offering.

    Default Re: Termination of the Contract After Landlord Decided to Change the Contract

    I have a question. I am renting a condo that was put up for sale by owner when I signed the lease. The lease states that owner has to give written within at least 30 days before closing to tenant to end lease. The owner called me on Jan 4th and said that she had a offer and was going to closing on Jan 30th 2014. She told me I had to be out by jan 30th by 12:00 noon. I told her that I received no notice in writing. She said I knew that the place was up for sale. I had sent her a rent payment for Jan 1. 2014. I told her do not cash it. Use my last month rent she is holding including my security deposit. She cashed the check and now it's insisting that I be out by jan 30 th 2014. I told her since she broke the lease and didn't give me notice that she has to give me all she owes me, last month rent and security deposit if she wants me out, otherwise I am staying until I receive proper notification. I live in Pennsylvania and have a year to year lease. What are my options??
