After 5 years, my guess is that it is a month-to-month lease that can change with 30 days notice. If not, you have a good argument that it cannot change if you are locked into a long term lease. Visit kliszlaw.com to discuss further. Tim Klisz

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney. If your lease is just month-to-month, your step son can change the rent after 30 days notice. If you've signed a long term lease that is still valid, and it locks in the current rent, that's a different story. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
