Rent changes may be legal
It depends on the wording of your lease agreement. Most lease agreements set forth the monthly amount of rent for a particular term,usually one year. If your lease agreement is notfor a specific term, then yes the landlord canincrease the rent to whatever he wants upon giving propernotice. I would need more information before I couldanswer your question.
