Is there any grace period to reconsider a lease? I just signed it yesterday and am now convinced I am paying too much.
Also, I did not get a copy of the lease- they told me they would mail it to me- is this normal and customary?
Thanks

I actually said that the LL is supposed to give it to you if you request it, but not getting a copy on the spot was the tenants own mistake.Originally posted by Cranky Tenant:
As usual consigliere seems to be correct, though contrary to what NYCKid says, the LL is obligated to give you a signed copy of the lease.

While failing to provide the tenant with a signed copy doesn't nulify the lease this would certainly imply ( at least under rent stabilization) that signing the lease doesn't necessarily make it a "done deal."A tenant who does not receive a copy of the vacancy lease and/or Rider should first contact the owner. If the owner fails to provide the vacancy lease or the Rider, the tenant may file a Tenant’s Complaint of Owner’s Failure to Renew Lease and/or Failure to Furnish a Copy of a Signed Lease (DHCR Form RA-90). DHCR will issue an order directing the owner to provide the tenant with the vacancy lease or the Rider. If the owner does not comply with the order within 20 days, the new rent increases will be postponed until the vacancy lease or the Rider is provided. The owner may also be fined.
