He isn't making repairs or maintence. Can he continue to raise my rent?

There is 3 other units rented out. I have the largest for the last 15yrs. If I have to make repairs is that a even exchange for increased rent? |

You could contact your local clerk of the courts and place your rent into escrow, it tells the court you've paid your rent and they will hold it and that will be paid to the landlord after the work is done...you must really have a slumlord...none should raise rent unless the place is really up to date and kept up to date....sorry about your luck. |

Read your lease.
Normally landlords do have the right to raise your rent with proper notice to you, normally 30 days.
If he isn't making repairs you should document the things that are wrong with your place, and then send him the repair requests in writing and be sure to sent them all certified so you can prove that you are requesting the work be done...the best way to do that is keep a copy of the request that you sent him and just keep that letter with the certified receipt for your records. If that doesn't get the work done then check with your county fair housing authority and make a complaint with them, and if all else fails take him to small claims for the work.
Whatever you do, DO NOT quit paying him rent. I know it seems unfair to keep paying on a place that he isn't working on, but if you quit paying your rent he can evict you and that will go on your credit and background report making it harder for you to rent in the future. Don't screw yourself over because your landlord is being a jerk, the only person that you will hurt by not paying rent is you!! |

Business income, is this a commercial rental? Or your residential home?
Either way, you should have a lease. If that's the case he cannot, even for repairs & or maintanance he cannot raise it.
If it's month to month then your S.O.L. (sorry, outta luck)
See a lawyer that speciallizes in tenant / landlord disputes.
Good Luck |

He owns the property, so yes he can. Your option other than paying the increase is to move.
Good luck. |

Explain to him that your business will not support a rent increase. Tell him that if has to increase the rent you will have to move to a less expensive building.
He may back off, especially if you have been a good tenant. On the other hand, he may want you out so he can do something else with the property.
You will just have to be ready for anything that comes.
Good luck, I hope it all works out for the best. |

It depends on the landlord tenant laws in your state. But for the most part he can.
Why don't you just own your own home, vs continue to renting. Your tax deductions will give you more money back at tax time and will probably be less than you pay now in the long run. |

You need to get ahold of your local housing authority. Usually it is called HUD. You have the right to stop paying rent until the repairs and maintence is fixed. You should contact a lawyer as well to know your rights as a tenant. If you are especially fond of the apartment, you have to make sure your rights are taken care of. You have to be proactive in getting this stuff done. |

You now have nothing to lose since you are going broke. Ask for a reduction or it is time to close the doors. And if he tell you to leave do not pay the rent for 60 days as you close up shop.
State you case and do not wine like a little girl, you relay only have one choice. |

It might depend on where you live - what Country etc. In some there are fair rent panels etc - or it might even be in the lease how often rent can be reviewed - and by how much each time.
Without knowing where in the world you live, it is hard to be more specific. |
