And here is the kicker .... if the landlord does suddenly produce a new lease with a higher monthly rent, they must provide you 30 days written notice that the rent is changing, so by law you never have to go through exactly what you are going through.
They must give you 30 days notice (60 in California) of any rent increase. You owe the same amount as last month. Pay it. Do NOT let them make your increase retro active. It is against the law in all 50 states.
Your rent did not change since you have not been notified of a new amount.
You owe July rent for the same amount that you paid for June.
If you owe back rent they dont want to renew the lease.
Until they advise you of the new rent in writing your rent is the same as last month. Don't stress it.
Yes. If you occupy, you must pay rent or get a WRITTEN release from the obligation. you did not.
I received a notice of delinquent rent today, July 5th. My current lease ends July 7th. For the last week, I have been in contact with the manager every day to inquire if my new lease is ready and therefore new rent rate is ready. She kept saying no and try back later. I mentioned I needed to know to pay my rent to reflect the prorated rate and current market rate. Again, told to come back as they have switched management. Since they kept telling me to come back, I stopped my usual rent payment which was due on the 1st since the amount is incorrect. Can they really charge me late rent when they haven't renewed my lease and claimed they needed more time?
