My lease expired on January 31, 2022.
LL sent a new lease in October 2021 which I have not signed because he put in a rent increase, but after receiving the ERAP in December, and again in April was not allowed to increase for one year.
I later learned that I should have signed and returned the lease, but the LL would still not collect new rent until December of 2022.
A month ago LL sent another lease stating that my lease expires on December 31, but now it has a different rent increase amount.
Being that my last lease expired on January 31 can the LL do this?
Also I need to apply for DRIE asap.
Do I apply for DRIE with my last expired lease?
Do I send LL back the initial Lease Renewal he gave me or the new one that lists an incorrect expiration date?
Do I need a current lease to apply for DRIE?
Does a lease need to be signed by both Myself and LL in order to apply for DRIE?
How long does it take for my DRIE application to be approved?
If my application is approved will my rent revert back to what it was on the day I filed my application?
Thank you
