Prospective tenant signed lease without seeing property. A lease has been signed by both parties with a move in date 2 months away. Landlord asked for security deposit to hold it but prospective tenant said no until he sees property. And that "his lawyer" advises him not to pay anything he sees property in person. (He has driven by it and saw plenty of pictures) landlord said he could not hold property without deposit. Tenant said he understood and would see it asap. Meanwhile landlord showed property to someone else who passed credit check and gave deposit immediately to landlord. Can landlord say to other tenant that the lease it not binding because no security deposit was paid?
