California
Hello all,
My 'landlord' is a subleasing the house. I am wondering do I have legal right to ask to look at the contract between her and the owner(or landlord) of the this apartment?
Secondly, on the first day arriving in a new city, this 'landlord' verbally threatened me, in fear of my own safety and ignorant of any law at the time, I signed the contract under pressure. But the rent is way too high: I live in this apartment sharing in a small room with another person, this 'landlord' charged her 900 dollars/month and charged me 1200 dollars/month. The situation when I signed the contract was not through mutual consent but coercion. I am wondering can I ask to re-negociate the price for the apartment and is there any legal support in regulating the rent price?
How much can a landlord charge me?
