Can I get out of my apartment lease legally under these circumstances?

[pnuker]

So here's the deal. I gave my 60 day notice to vacate in a timely fashion. I later changed my mind and gave them another notice that said I want to stay and sign a new lease.

Now, I have changed my mind once again (long long story) and want to get out of my lease.

Here's the thing - The 2nd notice I sent them about disregarding my 60 day notice, I didn't sign it, it doesn't have any signature on it at all. I printed it out and forgot to sign, and they also never asked me to sign it.

Would this mean that it's not valid, and I can stick with the original plan to vacate with no legal consequences? I never did sign a new lease either.

I hope this makes sense...

What is the time frame for you making all these confusing changes?

For example, if you gave your notice, then changed your mind and said you'd stay then 59 days later changed your mind again, it's unlikely that that they'll let you get out without financial penalty with a one day notice.

My lease is up on June 30th. I sent the original 60 day notice on April 30th. But either way, it shouldn't even matter because I never signed the notice, right?

Not necessarily. You did notify them of your wish to stay. They may attempt to hold you to your need for a 60 day notice.

This still doesn't make sense to me. Even though I did type up this notice and give it to them, it still doesn't have a signature on it. Couldn't they just forge an unsigned notice on a tenants behalf, if they perhaps held a grudge against them for some reason, or if they were desperate? I'm not saying this is my case at all, but still it doesn't seem to make sense...

Isn't there a law SOMEWHERE that says a notice must have a signature on it?

Wont matter when you go to court Judge will ask if you sent notice. You will answer yes of course. Its over

A verbal agreement is as binding as a written one. The answer is NO.
