    You signed a six month lease. Do you have a copy of the signed lease? If so, does it include a provision for early termination?

    If you do not have a copy of your lease, does your landlord admit that you signed a lease? Have you asked for a copy and, if so, what did your landlord say? Do you have any evidence (e.g., emails, voice mail, text messages) in which your landlord admits that you signed the lease?

    Is this NYC or are you elsewhere in New York?

    Again, are we talking about New York City, or somewhere else in the state?

    But nothing to confirm that you in fact met and signed a lease? No copy of the lease? Again, what did your landlord say when you asked for a copy?

    Life lesson from the school of hard knocks:

    Any time you sign something, no matter what it is, never let it out of your hand without having a fully executed copy in your other hand, even if you just take a picture of it with your camera phone (that everybody on earth seems to have these days).
