What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi,
I moved into my apartment in July of 2003 and paid a monthly rent of $795.00, and now I have received a notice which states that I am notified in accordance with Civil Code Section 827, that 60 days after service upon the notice, or 10-01-09, whichever is later, my monthly rent which is payable in advance on or before 5 days of each month, will be the sum of $820.00, instead of $795.00, the current monthly rent.
I don't know too much about rent control, but I have heard that if a tenant has lived in the apartment for a certain amount of years..."rent control" prevents the Landlord from increasing the monthy rent. And that they can only increase the rent to new or recent tenants. Is this true? and since I have lived in my apartment for 6 years, can the Landlord still increase my monthly rent? Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
Danny
