What to do if I signed a move out agreement that the apartment is not honoring?
My leasing office gave me a dated agreement that I signed and gave back. Turns out they dated it wrong but we had already made financial decisions. Can we still hold to the original agreement of the incorrect date they wrote in?

If there simply is some scribner's error regarding the date of move out concerning the rental that you are writing about and the leasing office and you are in agreement that the date is incorrect but all else concerning the agreement is fine, simply take the agreement back to the leasing office and have the date corrected by an edit initialed by you and a representative of the leasing office.
If not, the agreement is still valid regardless of the mistaken date placed within it.
