My landlord rented apartment for us for one year round, and now says we have to pay 2000$ per 4 months during summertime. 16 000 for four months!!! She can do this, 2000 per month for two bedrooms, what can we do now, we don't have money to pay for new apartment and deposit there!!!

Unless you are in a rent controlled area, she can raise the rent as much as she wants. What state and city do you live in? $2000 sounds pretty cheap for a 2 bedroom (in Los Angeles, anyway).

1. 2000 x 4 = $8,000
2. Do you have a lease?
3. She cannot change the rental agreement (even month to month) AFTER the fact. She would have had to inform you of the increase in rent prior to the months in question.
4. If this is for NEXT summer and you don't have a lease agreement, she can charge you whatever she wants. If you can't pay, you will need to find a new place.
She cannot change whatever the lease says. Period.

If you have a lease you will need to read it very carefully. Some leases to give the landlords the right to change the amount they charge for rent as long as they give you a 30 day notice.
