Thought this thread would be appropriate to bump regarding a rent increase question.
My lease is coming to an end on June 1st, and according to our lease after that it switches to a month-to-month.
Last year when we re-signed our lease, our landlord told us rent would be going up the next time we re-signed (so June 1st this year), but didn't tell us any specific numbers.
As it is now coming to the end of April, we have yet to hear anything from him regarding the increase, or re-signing the lease. We sent him a text and an email last week reminding him, but no word.
So my question is, at this point can he raise our rent on June 1st? Does him telling us last year (only verbally) that rent would be increasing count as notice?
Ideal situation would be for us to stay, as we love our place. But with all the units available out there I wouldn't be too worried about moving.
My main problem is that we pass the deadline where we can give our one month notice to leave (End of April) and he comes back mid May telling us the increase for June.
If he does tell us the increase, are we in the rights to tell him we will go month-to-month at our current rent for the next 3 months and then give our notice to leave?
