Apartment lease agreement
Can an apartment change you lease agreement to a 6mth agreement from a 1 yr agreement when renewed you lease agreement on time & they claim to never be able to find the agreement you submitted in Sept & claim you are on mth to mth & then threating you w/as much as $100 rent increase if the new lease is not signed?
Re: Apartment lease agreement
If your lease has expired, then you are month-to-month, and they can increase the rent with 30 days notice. If it has expired, then the renewal lease they provide is an offer. You can accept it and stay, reject it and move, or counteroffer — which they have the right to reject or accept. In the meantime you are month-to-month.
If your original lease provided the terms for any renewal leases, then show them your copy of the lease.
