Is it fair to say that if a lease is not sign by the property owner that it is not honored as a validated contract? The lease that I have is not signed, furhter more I found out that the com[pany we did the lease with owes the protperty owner.

Well we have not recieved a lease from this management company, and they are asking for proof of payment for September and wants Octobers rent. They havee not done a full inspection, and have not fixed anything in the house such as the stove, furnace, anda window downstairs. There is also s tove in the back yard that they need to remove for safety reasons. There are children in the house ages 5, 4, and 4 months old.

The seller provided a verbal assurance, standard practice on buy and sell that there is a three day inspection, right of return. The seller now refuses to refund the money claiming it is a layaway and as such no refund. The seller did not state no refund as is sale in the communication. What are my rights?
