Usually, there is a 72-hour waiting period wherein you or your landlord may decide to cancel the lease without any fees but you’re way past that by now. If you’ve already talked to your landlord and explained your situation but to no avail, then you can seek legal advice. You may file a complaint against the landlord and RPA has that option. The purpose is to let you off the lease and possibly, get some of your money back – but do not expect to get the whole amount. Sometimes, you may not even get anything back but at least you’ll be off the lease and you will no longer be obliged to pay rent for the succeeding months.
