[RPPTL LandTen] Occupancy requirement

[Todd Allen]

Is anyone aware of a requirement that a residential tenant must take occupancy of the property before the lease can be effective?  Never encountered this defense before.

Seems to me that once the lease is signed it's effective, regardless of the tenant taking occupancy.
