My MIL moved into an apartment last August with a 12 month lease for $1200 a month (this is insane for a one bedroom in my area but rents have been soaring).
Yesterday, she received this letter on her door- addressed to her unit, with a former tenant’s name on it. The figures here are incorrect, and show that the previous tenant was paying only $995 when they moved out last summer. Landlord then turned around and rented it for $1200 without even cleaning the unit, and now they apparently can’t keep track of who lives there and what the expected rent is. Unbelievable.
Now she has to take time out of her lunch break to call and speak to these idiots to make sure they don’t expect her to pay an $80 increase. She won’t pay more and has the lease to back her up, but better to nip it early if there’s some deeper issue.
