Can your landlord change the amount of the rent after a year just by telling you on the phone what he wants when you signed an agreement a year ago?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

It depends on the term of your lease. If you had signed a one year lease, an additional year may be offered at a higher monthly rate. If you had signed a longer term lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent during the course of the lease unless specifically permitted in the lease.
