when i asked the question the first time nobody clearly understood me so let me clarify: I'm renting an apartment and the leasing office wrote $900 on the lease as my rent amount. I've been living there for 3 months now, and recently they tried to underhandedly have me sign some 'forms' so they could change my rent to $1100. They never came out right and said , "We made a mistake....etc" They sent us a threatning notice of eviction if we didn't pay the difference . I refuse to void out my binding legal contract for a new one, just because they made a mistake. That's not my problem. So i told them to speak with my lawyer if they have a problem. Aren't i in the right?

I am a landlord. You ARE right.

It sounds like you're in the right from this description. I don't think they can legally evict you because of that - if they do, get your lawyer involved. In fact, it'd probably be a good idea to ask your lawyer about it anyway.

From your description, it sure sounds like you are in the right. This sounds really weird for a leasing office to do.

Yes you are legally correct. They can't do anything to you until your current lease expires. And like you said, they can talk to your attorney if they like.
