Can I back out of a lease if the lease start date hasn't happened yet?

I asked a question a few days ago regarding a lease I signed to rent a house. I agonized over the decision for quite a while but ultimately signed it, and since have regretted my decision. Several people suggested that since I signed it, I was bound by the terms of the lease, including forfeiture of the deposit and being on the hook for rent for the whole period or until a new renter is found. That language is in the lease. However, the Lease Start Date is not until 2/15. So my question is whether I am bound by the lease before then, whether I can notify the landlord that I am backing out before then, with no repercussions.

Does anybody know?

I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
