If you have a lease now, you are entitled to the benefit of that lease until the end of the term. After that, the landlord must offer you a new lease that can contain a rent increase that is reasonable. It makes no difference that the landlord has changed. /p/ See also: http://info.corbettlaw.net/lawguru.htm
