well I actually counsel tenants here in my area. It really depends on the laws of your area. where I am there is no such thing as rent control -- so yes, they can do that if they choose. You can try to negotiate with them and see if you can get them to maybe agree to sign a 2 year lease and charge you say $500. but before you do that contact your state's attorney general's office (you can google for it) and see what the laws are in your area.

All states have different laws, however if you have a lease which locked in your current rent, until it expires you should be locked in.
Check your states website for landlord tenant rights.
www.state.XX.gov (replace the two x's with your state abbreviation)
If it was a few months ago and you started to pay the increase, it is viewed as though you agreed to the increase (contractually speaking).

that's an worry-free one. If the international gets too warm, we've shown that we are in a place to proceed to exist it via fact the "Cradles of Civilization" have been in warm, dry areas. If the international gets chilly, then we've already shown that we are in a place to stand up to ice a while, and that's with none "severe" technologies. If the international gets overpopulated, this is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do no longer think of we could desire to rigidity approximately surviving the subsequent one hundred years. the actual question is a thank you to we keep the subsequent one hundred years from starting to be the subsequent dark Age.

It is totally legal as long as there is nothing in the lease that says he can't raise the rent.

Do you have a lease? If you haven't signed an agreement with a stated rent schedule, then he's within his right to charge whatever he wants.

As long as he gives you a 30 day notice before hand he can do whatever he wants.
