Re: rent increase?

You should consult the terms of your lease to see what are the terms for how a rent increase is allowed. If you have additional questions you should contact any attorney in your area.

Good luck.

I cannot answer without learning more facts.

What was your rent before the increase? What exactly was the ruling of the court?
