What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
We live in a duplex, which just sold again, second time in less than 1 year. The new owner/landlord hand delivered a typed letter titled "30 day notice to increment or terminate lease agreement", which she didn't sign, just typed her name, stating that rent will increase by $149.00 starting on Sept 1. The letter is dated Aug 1 but she didn't deliver to us until the 2nd. No lease has been signed yet. We spoke to the other tenant & their rent was not increased.
The letter states:
Dear Tenant,
The lease agreement has come to its end of the original term, this is your 30 day notice, if you would like to continue with a new lease agreement, the new monthly rent would be $750.00 starting Sept 01,2017.
If not interested this would be your 30 day notice to turned over the premises and all keys in 30 days, from this date at 5:00pm.
The final inspection will be done 30 days after from the date of notice, please contact me with your decision at your earliest convenience.
Thank you, and hope you will continue with us.
- end of letter, no corrections made, just typed it as is.
As I stated earlier, we have no signed lease with this new landlord. Can she legally raise our rent but not the other tenant of same duplex? Both are same size. She has sent a text & called once about wanting to if we are going to stay. We have not given her an answer yet but we are actively looking for another place just in case she can legally do this, as this place is not worth that much. When she gave letter to my husband, she told him, you can also move out. In both the text & the call, she stated the same thing, so I don't really think she wants us to stay.
