Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Rent increase no 30 day

My landlord said she sent me a letter for a rent increase that i never received. And this was back in 11/01 I have gone into the office and asked what is goping on because i heard of the increase from a neighbor. and the assistant mananger looked in my file and there was not one so she told me that i won;t be getting a increase for awhile. I went to pay my rent last month and the manager said i owed them $30.00 for the rent increase i then again told her i never received a written notice. she went into my file and showed me a letter that wasn't there before with a date of 11/29/01 on it. she said that she would have to speak to her supervisor and get back with me. which she never did. today I went to pay the rent and she said i owed her $30.00 that my rent is now $490.00. I again said that i have not received a notice she said i showed it to you on 2/4/02 is this legal I still have not received a written notice. thank you

You've received a rent increase orally, and right now that good enough. You're lucky they don't try to back date it, and you have to pay the increase since November. So leave well enough alone.
