I actually don't remember if I signed the lease before I mailed it to him. I never deposited his check. Anyway, what happened is after I rented the room to someone else, the first guy calls up and says he was counting on the room and I need to give it to him, or find him another one. So I go to the first tenant and cajole and plead with her to move out, so the other guy can move in. She moves out reluctantly, with my help. Then the second guy shows up (had never seen the room or house before), takes a walk around, and says, "I can't live here. All the other roommates are boozers!" So I release him from the lease and he gives me $520 to offset the reduced rent I had to offer the first tenant to move back in. What a circus!! Never again will I rent a house or room to someone who is too lazy or otherwise not willing/available to inspect the premises first!!
