Tenant Rights


I am renting a condo in NYC. My current lease ends on 12/31/06, and I signed a new 2-year lease to take effect on 1/1/07. The apartment’s owner is foreclosing on the place, and it is to be auctioned on 1/17/07. I do not want to stay in this apt. anymore. The condo board drives me crazy with notices and info concerning this eviction, and I would like to move before my current lease ends. I have found an apt. that I love elsewhere, yet I don’t know if I can cancel the lease that I signed (the one that begins on 1/1/07). The apt. is going to be sold anyway, and the board still has not sent back a copy of the lease, signed, so I don’t even know if they have agreed to it at this point. Can I get out of the lease?
