Summary
I was charged a steep rent hike without proper legal notice. I halted payments, ignored eviction notices, and moved into my new fixer-upper home.
I encountered a comparable situation where the landlord imposed a significant rent increase without providing the legally required notice. It was reassuring to see that documenting every interaction and written communication with my landlord played a vital role in protecting my rights. I consulted with a local tenant advocacy group, which helped clarify my legal options and provided guidance on how to proceed. Relying solely on informal discussions delayed the resolution. It was a stressful period, but taking proactive legal steps ensured my concerns were addressed in accordance with state law.
hey, that’s so wild! i went thru something similar back in the day. make sure u get all documents sorted for any claim. hope ur fixer-upper works out as planned!
I really empathize with what you’re going through. Your situation sounds tough and stressful. Have you reached out to local tenant groups for extra support in handling the retroactive overcharge? How are things progressing with your new home? Would love to hear more about your experience.
