A lease agreement is a binding contract. Therefore, if you sign a lease agreement but do not keep your end of the bargain by not moving in, you will be in breach. In such a case, you can be held liable for the entire duration of the lease. However, the landlord has a legal obligation to mitigate the damages. For example, if you decided not to move in, the landlord must make a good faith effort to lease the place to someone else. If someone becomes a new tenant, then you are only liable for the vacant period.
