melanielervin | They raised my rent without telling me, do I have to pay back rent? |
When I signed my lease, I was informed I would be gettting $100 off my rent for six months. Im just starting my first job, and with that stress, I didn't realize when my six months were up. I got a call saying that it went up in November and they were demanding that I pay them $200 immediately. I simply cannot afford this right now. Do I even have to pay it? They never notified me of the increase, it is not in writing in my lease. Im putting a stop payment on the check until I get legal advice and talk to the manager.

The thing is, this isn't my rent Im talking about, its the EXTRA $200. Ive already paid my rent this month, no problem. |

If the lease states the amount of your rent then you are obligated to pay the proper amount. You're an adult and responsible for the lease agreement you signed.
Before writing out a check for the additional $200 you probably should have talked to the property manager about paying it a bit late instead of stopping payment on the check. You're just positioning yourself not to get a reference from that landlord. |

You signed the lease, knowing you were getting six months worth of lower payments, so they actually gave you six months notice that your rent was going up.
Yes, you do have to pay the $200. And putting a stop payment on that check means you still owe them $200.
Don't be surprised when the eviction notice shows up when you don't make the full payment next month either, because landlords don't like getting partial payments for three months in a row. |

YOu need to pay. You were informed. In fact it sounds like the rent they want now is the real rent that you agreed to on the lease, nothing raised at all. Your discount is over with, that is all. Expect to pay a fine for that stop payment too, the bank will fine them and it is completely your fault. |

Okay, you say you were getting a discount for six months. In the seventh month, why would they tell you it was increasing? It was just normal because you no longer got the discount. Of course you have to pay it. If you put a stop payment on your rent, you can be tossed out of your place, and be sued to boot. |

Okay, hold on a second.
Is it in writing that you get $100 off each month and they simply didnt put it in writing that it ended after six months?
Or is there NOTHING inw riting about getting $100 a month offf?
I like how you are blaming it on them that they didn't "notify" you that "it went up".
It didnt' go up. Your discount just ended and ou WERE Notified-- when you moved in.
pay them. If you cant pay them immediately, ask if they'll break it up into $50 installments over the next 4 months. just pay them. |

You stated that you didn't realize your six months were up. Which is your own fault, it's your responsibility to keep up when your lease is up. As far as the price increase, that's normal. Usually after a lease is up and you don't resign you are put on a month to month rate which is higher than what you would pay had you resigned the lease. There's nothing you can do. Put in the extra hours and pay the money |

I think your best course of action is contained in your last sentence. My only additional advice: Have them appear together--neither party can claim they never heard what was said by the other. |

no if it is not on your lease then i would go fight it in court because those type of landlords are out to take your money hoping you wont care enough to tell someone so if i was you hurry up and take them to small claims court you will win and the landlord might even have to pay for you to live there the rest of your new lease oa the jugde will break your lease for you so you can move out of there.good luck |
