Signed apartment lease.
I signed a lease on an apartment yesterday, and have changed my mind about moving in. Is there anything that I can do to get out of the lease? The complex does not even have all of my information yet.

Some states have what is known as a 3 day right of recission; unfortunately this is not available in Ohio for a residential lease. You can go to the complex and see if they will let you out of your lease. If, for example, a tenant were to tell them that they just lost their job that might work.
