Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

Less time paying less.

I have been living in my apartment complex for 12 years and I currently pay $635 per month. This week I learned that my neighbor (who has been living here for 12 months) is paying $535 and a friend who has been living here for 8 years also pays less money than me. They both have apartments with the same sq. footage than mine.

Is this legal?

Re: Less time paying less.

Absolutely. Each lease is negotiated individually with each party. You certainly have a right to contact the landlord, and request that they renegotiate your current lease, or that your new lease be reduced. If you have been a solid tenant, they may well be willing to do so. They are under no obligation to do so, however.
