I signed a rental lease for a house but the landlord never gave me a signed one back, is it still binding?

The landlord gave me a lease to sign and send to her, she never sent me the lease back or even a copy back w/ her signature, is it still binding? Also on the lease she gave the incorrect address, it was suppose to be Elm Ave, not Elm street. One more thing, if a lease does not state that you have to give a notice to move out, do you still have to give notice?I signed a rental lease for a house but the landlord never gave me a signed one back, is it still binding?
The fact that you don't have a copy has no bearing at all on the validity of the lease.





';Elm Ave'; as opposed to ';Elm Street'; is a 'de minimus' error - you found the place, right?





If a lease does not have a clause in it that allows you to give notice and quit, then you are bound until the end of the lease period.
