spouse moves in, LL raises rent?

Postby xxramonaxx » Fri Sep 27, 2002 12:15 am

my landlord wants to raise my rent for my husband to live with me in my apartment.

we signed the lease in august, after I got married, which states that the apartment may be used by the tenants on the lease and their spouse and children. i mean, is this fair? what, would he raise my rent if i had a baby too?

(i live in a 3br with two other people...my LL just wants to up my share of the rent for my husband to live in the room.)

so, my question is this: is my landlord allowed to raise my rent or is my husband allowed to live here under the rent we signed to?

i am attaching links to JPGs of my lease, the more info i give, the more help i think i can get in this issue. thanks in advance..

(i highlighted parts 1 and 2. #1 states the part about spouses using the apt. #2 talks of added rent, which i don't understand.. is there a loophole in there that says he CAN charge me more money?)

I'm not saying anyone's behavior is right or wrong...but his language wouldn't even get a PG-13 rating.

Reminds of Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes actually...

"Get your hands off me, you damn dirty LL!!!" lol

Tell your LL to take his rent increase and shove it up his arse. :(

And Joey ( :roll: ), if you want sterile language go watch a disney movie. I agree with Pointerout, welcome to NYC- now give me your wallet!
