When I moved in to my Townhouse I paid first and last months rent, when my lease was up at 1 year, I chose to not sign another lease and have been renting month to month, was rent was raised $50.00 a month and now that I am going to move out the property management company is telling my I have to pay the $50.00 difference. I can not find anywhere on my lease that it states I would have to pay the difference if rent is raised. Am I legally obligated to pay the difference?

Thank you,

forecloser
Ive been living in an apartment for a yr n two months. I gave a deposit of 1,135. i re signed a yearly lease in july 08. 2 weeks ago someone came and gave me papers stating that the apatrment which i live in is in forecloser. I called the landlord and she told me that it was true. She stated that my lease was month to month and that she was sorry. Yesterday i found an apartment which i am interested to move in but that landlord said he needs someone by oct 1. I called my landlord and she said that i need to give her 30 day written notice or she will keep my deposit. Is this legal? Do i have to give her 30 day notice or can i move out since its in forecloser and we are in a month to month lease? i need my deposit back so i can rent as soon as possible! please help!!

Lease Renewal I am currently renting (4 years now) and have renewed my lease…

Lease Renewal
I am currently renting (4 years now) and have renewed my lease every year. Typically every year in the past the rent has increased as well as the sec. deposit. This year I did not receive a lease renewal form. I have continued paying the regular rent (without the increase) for 4 months now. I now need to terminate my lease (I am buying a house.) The housing assoc. admitted that I did not receive a renewal form and said I could do a ”buy out” (2 extra months rent for terminating the lease). Is this a trick? Am I on a month to month lease with them now? The lease says that if the renter does not return the lease renewal form (which I did not return because I never received it), it is automatically renewed for an additional year. Does this mean that I am on a yearly lease with them? Can I leave at any time with a months notice and avoid the buy out? I would think that I am on a month to month with them, but since the lease says that it’s an automatic renewal, where does that put me? Should I consider myself lucky to get a buyout? Thanks.
