[@saffronlealle464]

Where I'm from we have to give tenants a written notice that's delivered by mail and accepted by signature. (That way they can't say they didn't receive the notice.) It has to give specific details about any type of change in rent or anything that is different from the lease in the letter and say the exact date in which the change will become effective. And the letter has to be at least 45 days in advance of the effective date. That's 15 days to negotiate and 30 days to make the accommodations and meet the guidelines of the amended lease. I've never had any troubles from any of my tenants which are 4 home renters and 7 business/office space renters. But I also have never done a double Increase either. I just couldn't do that to them. They've become my close friends.

OMG I would take a good Tennant who regularly pays and looks after my property, on reduced rent, over a string of bad tenants EVERYDAY of the week. He wanted a 90% increase, that's just outrageous.

[@cocodiva0213]

As a tenant I have went through this exact thing before. You have to not only know your rights as a tenant but educate yourself on your landlords rights as well. He can raise the rent to whatever he pleases, but if they say know they have every right to move. He wanted to double the rent in less than 30 days and he cannot do that. As far as security deposit goes I would research to see if they could keep it and not forward it to the new landlord and/or return it to the tenant. During the pandemic a lot of landlords got PPP loans and then after receiving the funds sold the property and left due to so many ppl unable to pay their rent. All of these things play a part and could be used to your advantage if you are a paying tenant and play your cards right. It’s all a game ppl. 💯

[@cocodiva0213]

My landlord who did this, I simply told her that if that’s what she wanted to do she was in fact changing the due date of my rent since she notified me in the middle of the month. After that I told her I would move and she could find a new tenant. When she expressed that she wanted me to stay and she would keep my rent the same I then demanded a lease. After my lease was up I moved and her place sat empty for almost 2 years (I moved about 4 miles away). Gotta know the game. A lot of them think they can raise their rent to whatever not even researching the comps nor updating shyt. Nowadays people are not going to pay high end prices for a 80’s style apt. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@patrickchubey3127]

I think it's interesting that when housing prices went up, rent also went up in buildings that were already bought and paid for.

Yes but if the rent is the landlord’s income then the value of the rent isn’t the same due to inflation.

[@patrickchubey3127]

Inflationary increases are expected. What isn't expected is a rent increase of 400%. I'm sure it varies from place to place, but you get the idea, it's fueled by the market and the market is fueled by greed or what they call " Whatever the market will bear " which means you charge as much as possible to the point where people can't afford to pay anymore, and that's where the price rests.

In my state, landlords are allowed to raise the rent as often or as much as they see fit...unless there is a lease locking in a price for a specified amount of time. Also, for those saying the previous landlord had an obligation to notify tenants about selling the property, you are wrong. Perhaps morally but certainly not legally.

[@redapol5678]

In her mind, she had already paid ‘last month’ when she first rented the place 20 years ago.

The new owner has the right to do what he did, but that doesn't stop him being a horrible lowlife for instantly doubling the rent. The crazy thing is that the business had been there for 20 years and as a business person myself, I think it good business to look after a good long term tenant. Keeping a good tenant at a lower rent is generally more profitable than having a series of businesses that fail because the rent is too high and having the property empty multiple times.

[@artistjoh]

@That Tunisian Crochet Life No, a good businessman takes a lower amount in order to keep a long term and reliable tenant. I see it all the time where greedy landlords jack up the rent then discover their property stays vacant for long periods. Owning property is a long term investment and the profit is taken when the property sells. This jerk landlord wants his profit up front, but in forcing people out he may not get the reward he wants. He lost a lot of what he wanted here because he failed to give 30 days notice, and he cannot charge a rent amount that had never been agreed upon. I have owned several businesses over the years.

New owner should’ve received the tenants’ security deposits from the old landlord. Somebody needs to have that money to return to the tenants. Inflation is fine, but expecting to double rent on a 20 year tenant, especially during a pandemic is not only a dick move, but bad business. A mor e gradual increase would work better for everyone. Plus, new landlord better make sure that property is in top shape if he wants top dollar.

Landlords like this are a pos. Idc what the judge says. I get that it maybe worth more. But to not only come out of no where double the rent, your nasty about it. Just wrong...There are more people in this world that can not just pay double their rent in a month let alone 3 weeks than those that can. People need to be understanding of that. Idc what the LAW is.

Landlord can definitely increase the rent but it was a d*ck move to give little notice of the increase especially if he was doubling it.

[@dawndellynnkral6222]

How does that work if you have a year lease but someone buys the building and gives a 30 days notice they are increasing the rent? How can someone do that when your on a contract locked in for a yesr?

[@angelmercy5261]

It’s not immoral of the landlord to DOUBLE someone’s rent during a pandemic and give 3 weeks notice? Judge M is so out of touch with us regular hard working middle class folk. Btw she’s a landlord! It may not be illegal for him to do buts it’s for sure immoral. What a shit human being.

Amazing how young she is but her southern accent makes her sound so old.

How old is "so old", to be exact?

Although they were there in the month of February, and he gave no notice about the raising of the rent, they still have to pay one month's rent. And if they hadn't moved, and they squatted, he would have sued for more money. Luckily them did move, but own for the February rent, since they stayed that month.

Cry me a river... Just because someone gave you a great deal for years then sold the building doesnt mean the new buyer can wubsidize your tears. They paid much more for the building than the last owner.

[@Degorff]

What about march rent he didnt get notice so they owe march too. This is why i thumbs down today.

[@ahelms1990]

Plaintiff needs to pay what everyone else pays in rent, no one is special and everyone needs to follow the laws. Sad how stupid people can be and not know what to do.

[@aangie7881]

Just because the old landlord was cutting them some slack doesn’t mean the new landlord will. If he wants to increase the rent, he has to give proper notice so they can choose wether to stay or not 🤷‍♀️ fair ruling

[@Anglynn74]

he did it because they were month to month, if they had a lease he would have had to honor the price until their lease ran out. he took advantage of the situation, he knew what they were paying before he bought the property.

@ThatTunisianCrochetLife Do i Need to spell this out for you? seems like I do. Hopefully I do not.
