I wouldn't count on that. There probably isn't enough money at stake to make it worth pursuing, but just because a person signed something doesn't mean they knew what they were signing. And just because something was verbalized and not written does not mean it cannot be proven in court. It is entirely possible for the leasing agent to have been deliberately distracting the lessee from reading the document before signing. There are circumstances that could make a legal document less than legally binding. I'm not a lawyer, but I do know sometimes you shouldn't just give up. Sometimes you should actually ask a lawyer. Sometimes you actually have a case, despite what others might have you believe.
