Rentals are exactly what I was talking about. Supposedly you can always go to someone else, but we all know in practice we can't just go without housing and if everyone decides you're "difficult," you're SOL. Earlier this week a potential landlord offered me a lease saying I had already inspected the property and found no issues with it. I asked for a chance to actually inspect before signing, and even said I would settle for a good quality video walkthrough. They told me the unit was "not available for viewing" because it wasn't finished yet, and by the time it was finished it would likely be taken. So why did you ask me to sign a contract saying I inspected a property that it's conceptually impossible to inspect?? I asked if they could change that part of the lease. They said they were "unable" due to "demand and interest in the property." Of course, still not as insane as your story. |

Was it a paper lease? Because you could always cross out that section before signing, not to mention write in your own addendum. They would probably still balk, but you'd be within your rights to do so.
