Hello all,
This is my first post here so bear with my ignorance. Here is my situation.. I received a Lease Extension Agreement" from my landlord on Nov. 13th that stated that my monthly rent was going to increase by X dollars, the lease extension will be from Feb 1st 2003 to Jan 31st 2004, etc, Sign at the bottom and return to the office. Then on the very next day my landlord sent me a certified letter saying, that they were withdrawing the offer they sent the day before because ?there may be a change in the billing structure at some point in the near future? (I am guessing they are trying to raise the rent even more?).
So, I have a couple of questions:
A. What are my rights here?
B. Does my landlord have to give me a extension before my lease runs out?
C. Does my landlord have a specified number of days before my lease ends that he has to give me the extension (if he is going to give the extension).
C. If the rent hike is too much can I use any of this to negotiate with the landlord?
Thanks for the Help,
Jim
