If an owner does not allow you to take over your rental unit at the beginning of your lease, you have the right to terminate the lease with written notification to the owner. In addition, the lessor is liable to you for damages that you cannot withdraw at the beginning of the lease, regardless of whether you decide to terminate the lease. Unfortunately, in this situation, the owner may be legally responsible for your expenses, but it cannot be easy to get a payment. You may need to bring the owner to court and then carry out pickup operations. Some jurisdictions prohibit an owner from refusing to rent you because of your source of income. For more information, contact your city or borough government.
