Sue,
Can you find out when the building was sold? What was the rent in the
lease that you signed on 8/31? If the old landlord who agreed to the lease
owned the building when you signed the lease then the lease applies. The
new
landlord can not raise the rent until the lease ends.
Good luck,
Dave M.
The rent on the lease we signed on 8/31 was the same rent we've been paying
for the 2 years we've lived in this complex. The old landlord owned the
building when we signed the lease as far as I know. The sale became official
as of 9/8 according to the letter we received from the new management
company. The letter stated our rent to be $100 more than the lease says. I
am hoping it's a mistake. Unfortunately the person listed on the letter as
the person to call if there are any questions/problems seems to believe she
is too good to have to answer her phone. All calls to her go right to voice
mail and are ignored. It's getting frustrating to say the least. Thanks for
your help!
