We signed a lease in NJ, sight unseen, in June. Upon visiting, we found the apartment to be in poor cosmetic shape, not painted as specified in the listing. On July 1st, we asked the landlord if we could withdraw from the lease. They said we need to pay rent until they find someone else. We agreed but the landlord is continuing to price the home a couple of hundred dollars above market value, and it doesn’t look like it will rent to someone else at all, especially considering it’s cosmetic condition. Any suggestions? Thank you.
