The handwritten date of April 29, 2010 was at the bottom of the document. Galaxy tendered the initial deposit and first month's rent. Later that week, Manner Investment sent Galaxy a formal lease agreement which included additional costs such as the common area costs, real property taxes and insurance premiums. Galaxy refused to sign the lease stating that the one-page, handwritten document contained all the terms of their deal. Manner Investment wants to sue Galaxy.
