Here's the story: We moved into our townhouse on July 1, 2005. The original term was 1 year to end on June 30, 2006. In the lease it states that the landlord is to give 30 days notice priop to the end of the term for any rent increase. It also stated that the lease was automatically renewing if neither parties did anything it would start over for another year. We received a letter from him on July 10, 2006 (10 days past the ebd of our lease) the letter included our renewal & a rent increase of 15 dollars per month. We signed the renewal even though we knew that he was not allowed to increase the rent. We thought it was a fair increase. We found a larger place and notified the owner on June 8, 2007 that July 14th would be our last day. We signed the new lease yesterday and the next day we received a letter from our current landlord stating that the lease is not up till July 31st. In the lease renewal he extended the lease to now end on July 31st instead of the original terms.
