If she didn't have a guilty conscious she would have signed the lease and been done with it...Being as I still do not have a signed lease, my question is -- if by the end of the month I still do not have the signed lease, according to her previous lease, her contract will go month-to-month and either tenant or landlord can give a 30-day notice to vacate.

Along with the other great replies here, just wanted to point out that good neighborhoods with great schools and community can and do become bad neighborhoods with poor schools and community through redistricting, rezoning, age and obsolescence of the area, possible environmental issues, freak earthquake or flooding not covered by insurance, etc.
