What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Ok I signed a lease at an apartment complex in aug 08. The landlord was aware that I had 2 small dogs. I paid a pet deposit which is documented in the lease. About 3 days ago I had a note on my door stating that starting Dec 1 the pet policy was changing and that I would have to sign a Pet lease by nov. 28 or would be evicted. It also stated that I would have to pay an additional 25$ per pet a month. So now my rent has increased by 50$ a month. When I saw my landlord I told her that it stated in my lease that I was to pay 409/mo not 459/mo she said that she was not changing my rent just adding a new fee. I just want to know if this is legal?? I moved in this place because it was so reasonable and allowed pets for a one time deposit. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thank you
