Landlord (apt) didn't sign lease today; can I get out of it?

California.
I signed a lease today. I got a copy. The landlord did not sign it. I have not moved in yet. I've just been told that my father has 3 months to live (he lives in the midwest). I looked over my lease agreement, to see if I had 72 hrs, and noticed that the landlord (office manager) didn't sign where she was supposed to. So, can I get out of the lease, and just lose my deposit? Or will I have to pay the full 6 months? Is there a 72 hour clause?

no 72 hour clause, but lease is null and void...landlord not signed. report to him of plans immedietly. security deposit should be returned or can go to court and get twice back(depending on state). hope this helps and sorry to hear about father.
