I live in MA. I signed a contract with the landlord using an apartment agency just yesterday. After I gave it a thought for the night I made a mistake not taking another one that was better and convenient for me and my daughter (that other place if from the same rental agency). I left the real state agent a message about it……would there be any problems? From what I hear they don’t have a 3 day grace..(so they said).
Also I am suppose to move to that place on May 1st (Its April 8 today).
Thanks
btw it is a month-to-month contract. And also the landlord said if someone stays over I have to tell him (even for a day)

You can break any contract.
The bad thing is if they say no, you still don’t have to live there but they could sue for the money that the contract was dated for.
Goodluck!
I’m not licensed in MA but I bet you that you can find the answer to your question in the information that your state provides for situations and questions like this one. Here is the law of your state as it relates to Rentals/Tenacies
LANDLORD TENANT ACT:
Landlord tenant forms from state
Buena Suerte
Once you sign a contract you are bound by it and must fulfill it.
However, if you talk with the rental agency and tell them that you have changed your mind they might be able to break the contract for you. If the landlord still has his or her add running then they might forgive you and let you break your lease. Otherwise no.
Legally you signed it so you have to do it period.
