Re: ?Raise rent/retaliation/reasonable accommodation
Your landlord is entitled to raise your rent when and if you decide to create a new lease.
However, depending upon the specific details of your situation, you may have a valid claim of retaliation.
There may be things you can do to protect yourself immediately. If you would like assistance, please contact my office.
