What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Texas
Hello I have been living in my apartment for 1.5 years. I was originally in a a 1 year lease so have been month-to-month for the last 6 months.
I just received an email from my (new) landlord requiring me to sign a new year lease. And also raising my rent by $250 per month! I know there is no rent control in Texas but..
- Can they legally force me to go to an anual lease if I'm currently month to month?
- If I choose not to sign a lease, how much notice to they need to give me? Is it just 30 days?
- Is there anything I can do to fight back against such a large rent increase?
Thanks!!
