Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Minnesota
Can my landlord raise my rent just because he wants to? When I moved in he didn't even fix up in the place it needed paint in the bathroom and had a broken fixture in there as well. I only took this place because I needed somewhere real quick. I started out paying $575.00 per month last year he raised the rent by $50 now he wants to raise it by $25.

Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
