Does California allow 25 years leases? I am stuck in an apartment because they skrewed up the paper work :0(?

Question

The apartment complex made a mistake by accidentally putting 2009 instead of 2008, and now I am stuck in a 2 year agreement that I cannot get out of. What are my options??? I heard that 2 years leases are illegal in California...

Answer 1

You made a mistake by not reading your lease before signing it. It is a legally binding contract, I believe you are stuck or at the very least will be out some money.  

Answer 2

Sadly should have paid more attention to what you were signing.  Only thing you can really do now is break your lease unless you can talk them into letting you out of it due to a mix up.
