**A: what notice did you receive and what did it say?

 

[JasonK14]

Typed letter

"this will serve as addendum for <property address> for 12 months until 2/25/05"

"Please note that your monthly rent will be $$ which includes garage space @ $$ beg. 3/1/04"

"Sec. dep. is on file as $$$$. Deposit for new term is same. Reuires no additional funds. Please remit with your March payment." (Duh, couldn't delete a line from their form letter)

All other terms will remain in force. To confirm sign here. Keep copy for your records."

"If you don't return addendum lease will be mo. to mo. Add. $25 for that. 30 day notice is required prior to move out."

Thanks

**A: obviously, you did not get 45 days notice.

ok, so we can legally say they can't increase, but if we don't give 3o days notice of moving out, can they come back at us? Is the entire contract invalid, i.e. can we give notice less than 30 days, or is the increase issue the only provision that cannot be enforced?
