rental lease contract question

我们有个出租房，刚才老公一个人去租房，有一对美国人，刚刚丢了房，bankrupt，但以前住在很贵的区，看起来很中规中举，他们特别会说，老公被迷惑了，老公就agree把房子租给他们，这是第一次当房东，没有经验。租客太会讲话，及进全力鼓励老公签约两年 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?。如果现在反悔，可以吗？房子是在我和老公两人的名下，现在自有他一人签名，如果以我不同意为由，现在反悔行吗？有没有法绿责任？  

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!
