The property manager asked me to sign the lease and do the changes we agreed on by crossing out some sections?
and write what we agreed on in hand writing. After i signed the lease and sent it back to him. He changed his mind about one of the crossed out sections. Is this lease valid and can he use it against me

I think anything crossed out or added in handwriting needs to be initialed and dated by both of you, in order for all changes to be official.

if both of you initialed crossed out sections then it is probably legal. If he did not initial that change then it is as if it never occured. If handwriten changes to a document are initialed by both parties they are generally considered agreed upon.

Spend $50 on an attorney, dont get messed up, there are some good attorneys that will work inexpensively especially if you ask nicely. Dont risk a huge legal nightmare later that could have been solved in 5 minutes by having an attorney look at it. As a matter of fact tell the management company that you are going to do this and you want there attorney as well to have signed off of it.

You should have a copy so that it shows the crossed out section you didn’t agree to. The owner either accepts or doesn’t the crossed out section. He accepts by letting you move in. Once he accepts that’s it the cross out section is removed. But keep in mind you better have a copy or an original copy that’s best with his original signature on your copy.

Unless he signs each crossed out item it will not mean anything. The lease is valid, it does not matter what you crossed off, unless he signed that change it will be as it you did not cross off anything.
