Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
How much can my rent be raised and hoe much notice do I receive?
The apartment I live in has been sold. I payed 450 a month, now the new landlord raised the rent to 675, and only gave us a 2 week notice. I have lived there for 5 years, and now they made me give them a 200 security deposit.They also tell me that they can throw everyone out and get all new tenents. Please, can you tell me what my rights are?

If you were on a month to month agreement with the previous landlord, they must give you a 60 day notice inorder to increase rent more than 10%.
If you were on a lease, they cannot raise your rent until the lease is up.

Depends on where you live. Are you in L.A.?
