Legal Question in Consumer Law in North Carolina
The lease for my storage unit does not mention anywhere that the rent could be increased. I signed the lease agreeing to pay the agreed amount of $240 for two units, after a fire occurred the company increased the rent to $310 without having me sign a new lease. Is this legal

How long was the lease for? if it was month to month, it is not a breach of contract to increase the rent. It is my understanding and personal experience that most storage facilities use month to month leases.
