I understand why they want the increase, but my question is do we have any rights seeing as how they sat on this until we have ~2 weeks before the expiration of our lease to do it? It effectively kills any chance for us to either negotiate or look for alternative accommodations.

Probably not the right place to post but I have a fairly large 1 bedroom apartment for rent in Kensington for March 1st. I am not sure about your current needs be send me a PM if need be!
Either way, good luck. Some landlords can just be strange and don't think sometimes, probably one of the reasons some of them have high vacancy even when the market may not warrant it. A rent increase during Covid for a small month to month extension seems strange. If this was considered a month to month with the expectation of a longer term flexibility needed, perhaps a different story. Looking for a house and the potential of moving out in say 2 months? What's the point? Going to taxes probably anyway and the spring/summer is a better time for most people to move and things should improve with Covid.
Either way, good luck and PM if at all interested!
