You get your house key(s) whenever you sign the lease. Normally your lease is not prepared until you've worked out your first month's rent and any deposits that are required. In most states the landlord must give you the keys to the front door of your house. If this happens you have the right to change any of the other locks without your landlord's permission, but not the lock of which your landlord gave you the key.

If I sign a lease but do not exchange money is the lease valid and do I have to move in the apt?
If you signed, the lease is binding. You don't have to move in, but you do have to pay the rent. The landlord has an obligation to try to rent the place, but until he does, you have to pay.
Can you break a lease with equity residential?
Ask your office staff. They may be offering a settlement fee amount that would allow you to move out with usually only a 30 day notice. I was able to move by paying the equivilant of 2 months rent on the day I turned over my keys. I had to pay rent thru that day and also sign some paperwork in the office but it worked out perfectly. We didn't know we'd buy a house so soon and had 5 months remaining on our lease.
Is it illegal to sign the lease for your own apartment if you are already on a lease with your boyfriend but you move out?
No. But, you will still be responsible for your share of the previous lease unless the landlord/rental agency (not the the other leasees) agree to release you from your obligation.
Can you change your mind about renting an apartment after you signed a lease but have not moved in yet?
If u pay first and last but didn't sign a lease or didn't move in can u get full payment back
Are you required to give notice of vacating a rental property in Florida if you didn't sign a lease?
Perform the normal move out procedures regardless of not having a lease. Definitely provide at least 30 days written notice. Take pictures, clean the house, have a walk through with the landlord--have them sign a form regarding the condition of the rental. You can also check the state's landlord and tenant laws. But, the above actions make common sense.
