My apartement is being remodeled can they raise the rent?

Question

I didn't tell them to remodel. Although its better I just don't want them to change the rent. I live in an Affordable complex.

Answer 1

Not until your lease expires or goes month to month, then they can. Doesn't matter if you told them to remodel or not, it's theur building, they can do what they want with it.

Answer 2

Hello. I would think that as long as you signed a LEASE for a given period of time (usually a year, though half year leases are possible at higher rate of pay) they canNOT raise the rent during that time. That being said, there is nothing to stop them from jacking it up when you re-sign for another year or what not. As for them remodeling, they have that right since it's their property though there's usually some goal to it. It's called business friend, and as you know business can be quite subversive at times. I'd ask them, but I'd either have someone else with me as a witness or secretly record their answer. That's against the law, but it would cover your back. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you have a lease, they cannot change the conditions of the lease during the term of the lease. They can renovate all they want, but be prepared. When the lease expires, the rent will probably go up.

Answer 4

Once your lease is up, they can raise the rent whether or not they remodel.

The owners are the ones that have the power in this situation, not you.

Answer 5

Your landlord can raise your rent for any reason on a renewal lease or monthly if you are month to month.

Answer 6

They can once your lease expires. If you have no lease, then yes they can increase the rent.

Answer 7

Only if you are up for a rent increase or they are gutting the place mout, and replacing more than carpet. i.e. cabinets, bathroom fixtures etc. etc.

Answer 8

It depends upon the lease.
