Landlord changed lease after 30 days of move on

To whom it concern,

Can a landlord change a lease agreement after 30 days if everything is already signed?

(I moved into an all bill paid unit stated on the lease, 30 days after move in she is telling me I owe her 250.00 on light bills. I was forced into signing a form for Oct saying I cant go over a 100.00 can she make changes like that ? Also if I don�t pay the bill I get evicted is this possible. It also states in the lease no changes are allowed before initial contract term ends)

Assuming you did not have a gun held to your head, it is unlikely that a judge will agree that you were forced to sign the changes.

The landlord could not change the terms of the lease, and you shouldn't have signed onto the changes. If you did, you are now stuck with the amended lease.
