Hello all, here is my situation:
I just moved into a 1 bedroom apartment in a private house. I moved in on December 27th. I signed a month to month lease with the landlord prior to moving in and gave him a month's rent and security. The terms were every 15th of the month, rent was due. Today, February 1st, I get a call from the husband and he tells me that he made a 'mistake' on when rent was due. He said that after speaking with his wife, the rent should have been due on the 1st instead of the 15th. He apologized profusely about the mistake. I told him I didn't have a problem giving him the rent today provided that he wrote out a new lease reflecting the new due date. He gave me a receipt for rent paid as of today and then left.
I went to the bank and withdrew the cash and bought it back to him. When I returned, he gave me the new lease with the new due date BUT ALSO WITH A NEW ITEM STATING THAT WASHING MACHINES WERE NOT ALLOWED. This was NOT in the original lease I signed. I now have a bad taste in my mouth and no longer have the feel good vibe about living here that I once had. The wife (Who I have NO dealings with) also insists on me giving my SS#, after I've already been here for a month and my references, job status, income and credit report have already been provided. I'm not giving my SS to these people. Can somebody tell me what I should do about the situation? Thanks.
