Project Description

In 2023, an individual in California posted a project seeking assistance with reviewing a rental agreement. The client was preparing to move out of an apartment and wanted clarity regarding the notice period required by the landlord. They believed a 30-day notice was sufficient due to their month-to-month status, but the landlord was asserting a 60-day requirement, prompting the client to seek legal advice on how to effectively validate their understanding and avoid incurring extra charges. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $195 to $445. All proposals were submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.

Forum Questions About Rental Agreement

Asked on Dec 3, 2024

Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement?

I am currently renting an apartment and have a signed rental agreement with my landlord for a fixed term of one year, with a specified monthly rent. However, recently my landlord informed me that they intend to increase the rent starting next month. I was under the impression that the rent amount was fixed for the duration of the agreement, so I am seeking clarification on whether a landlord has the right to increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement.

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Generally, you are correct. For an annual lease with a fixed monthly rate, a landlord cannot increase the monthly rent during the pendency of the lease. Sometimes, the lease may allow for such an increase, but only if there is a provision in the lease that allows for it. If your lease does not include a rent adjustment clause and you believe the landlord is acting improperly, you are within your rights to challenge the increase. Feel free to reach out with any more questions about this.

What's an addendum in a rental agreement?

I am a renter who recently signed a rental agreement for an apartment. I was provided with a copy of the agreement, but it included an addendum that I was not given an opportunity to review before signing. I am concerned that the addendum may contain terms that I was not aware of and would like to know what an addendum in a rental agreement is in order to understand my rights and obligations under the agreement.

Merry K.

Answered Nov 21, 2023

An addendum to a rental agreement is the same as any other terms and condition that is part of the rental agreement itself. An addendum is binding. If you are concerned about the terms in the addendum, especially since you were not given an opportunity to read the addendum in advance, you should contact the landlord in writing to express your concerns, and note that you were not given the opportunity to read the addendum in advance and do not consider the addendum part of your rental agreement. For assistance, please contact a landlord/tenant attorney.
