Post: Signed lease for one year

Posted by Joanne on 2/25/09

I was in the process of selling my home; therefore, I
signed a one year lease to rent a townhome with a move in
date of March 01, 2009. I paid $2,500.00 for the deposit
as well as $2,000.00 for the first months rent for a total
of $4,500.00. Days later (two weeks before my move in
date), the deal to sell my home fell through, so I
couldn't move out of my home. I contacted the leasing
agent and told her about my situation and she said she
would try to get my money back as soon as possible. I
have called her several times and obviously she is
avoiding me. Do I have any legal rights to a refund of my
money or at least a portion of it? Is there anything I can
do at this point, or am I stuck because I signed a one
year lease?
