Contract Consent Legalities Explained

Summary

Without signing the actual contract or making any payment, you are generally not legally bound by it. However, under Finnish Contract Law, a written agreement showing clear intent can be binding. Your email stating Yes may indicate an intent to enter into a contract, but legal obligations may not be fully established. For personalized advice, contact the Legal Aid Office of South Ostrobothnia.

If I give written consent to my Landlord to proceed to contract signing. But, I have a change of mind due to certain situation and not sign the contract. Can I still get in legal trouble? Could I be sued?
Hi ****! To better understand your situation, could you tell me if you have already provided any form of payment or started any tenancy based on that written consent?
