Hi
This happened in the UK, but I imagine contract law is very similar in the US.
A landlord gave me a tenancy agreement for a room, I paid him a deposit and first months rent up front. I took the contract home and signed it, but I never handed the contract back as I instantly changed my mind about the whole tenancy.
Landlord refused to give my money back.
My small claims court hearing is in one month. I have the only original signed copy of the contract which I'm putting a copy of in the trial bundle. Shall I scribble my signature out? Is this contract enforced even though I didn't give it back?
Is there a process for removing a signature from a contract in this example? I'm a little weary about the whole situation really,
