rental lease contract question

我們有個出租房，剛才老公一個人去租房，有一對美國人，剛剛丟了房，bankrupt，但以前住在很貴的區，看起來很中規中舉，他們特別會說，老公被迷惑了，老公就agree把房子租給他們，這是第一次當房東，沒有經驗。租客太會講話，及進全力鼓勵老公簽約兩年 because they are afraid that other people will be interested in this house as well。The renters did draft something in a piece of paper (not formal contract template)with certain conditions(started date) and my hu*****and sighed it. On the paper, it even listed that we will not show house to other people tomorrow. But this is my house, I should have the right to show it. Right now I feel that the renters are unreasonable, it seems they are in the control. I want to terminate the “contract”.  

 

Questions :

1. In this case, is the paper with both parties' signature effective as a lease contract? Is it effective now?  Can we still terminate it before it starts?。如果現在反悔，可以嗎？房子是在我和老公兩人的名下，現在自有他一人簽名，如果以我不同意為由，現在反悔行嗎？有沒有法綠責任？  

2. They haven’t provide the income history yet, but they claim they have $14K monthly income. Say if they can’t verify their income as they put on the rental application form, can we use it as a reason to turn them down even if that piece of paper effective as a contract?

 

 Thank you for your help!
