Mock Lease Agreement Risks

I am being asked to sign a mock lease for a house in order to meet HOA restrictions. The only proof that I have that this lease is **** legally binding is an email. Can I be held accountable for the lease terms?
In general, a lease agreement, even if called "mock", could be legally binding if it meets certain criteria. However, this can be quite complex. Can you share if the email explicitly states that this lease isn't legally binding?
it does
Even if the email states the lease isn't legally binding, it's risky as emails might **** hold up in court.
- Verify your agreement with a lawyer.
- Request a written agreement clarifying the lease's non-binding nature.
Remember, legal advice depends on specific case circumstances.
