Re: Landlord/Tenant Lease
Sometimes rights to amend the rules are specifically reserved (hours the pool is open, items that can be kept on the porch, etc.). However, if the landlord is trying to change a material term (such as amount of rent, date due, grace period, term of lease), then consult a good attorney on the specifics.
You can also consult with The Fair Housing Council of Orange County: http://www.fairhousingoc.org
Good luck; good landlords are sometimes hard to find.
