<prompt> Human: Ive recently graduated from college. Before I left, I was living in university housing. When I negotiated and signed the lease, I was studying abroad very far from the US, so I counted on my roommate to do most of the negotiations in person. I received a lease to sign and send back. The application for the lease was dated August 2015-July 2016, but the actual lease had a blank space where a date is supposed to be written in. I knew I was graduating in May, and talked with my roommate about the possibility of the rent ending in May rather than July. She was told that since I was graduating, I would not owe rent for June and July. This sounded fine to me, and since I was on the other side of the world, I was just happy to be able to find housing. I signed the lease, but left the Date fromto: blank empty, not knowing if it would end on my graduation date or the end of the month.Fast forward to now, Ive moved out of the apartment, turned in my key, and began living in a different city. Im in the process of getting a full-time job and paying very expensive rent here. I dont really have any savings to speak of, and I cant afford to pay both rents. I dont know what to do. Im worried I really screwed myself financially. What are my options?Edit: Yes, Im fairly sure that legally I am obligated to pay the rent. Im asking financially, what are my options? I expect to have a job within the next month and will be able to pay at that point. Until then, what should I do? Assistant: Do you have a copy of the signed lease with no end date? It may be possible that it would be considered a month to month lease if it didnt have a term. Human: The lease application specifies the end date as July. When I was told it would be okay to end in May, I left the date blank on my end.Assistant: Lets try this again. Do you have a signed copy of the lease? What does it say?Human: I have a digital copy of the lease I signed and emailed to them. The lease application specifies the term August to July. The lease itself does not specify the startend dates. Assistant: Do you have a copy of the lease they signed?Human: I dont.  <response>: Thats a problem. You need and they probably owe you a signed lease. Im only conceptually familiar with WV. Its possible that the landlord violated rental law by not providing you with a signed lease. Or it could just confirm that youre done-zo.
