Q: My storage place was sold. The new mgmt says that they did not receive my agreement from previous owner.
They have raised the rent with the proper service. What should I do about the rental agreement? Thank you for your help!
A: Either give them a copy of your copy or simply enter into a new lease with them. I am guessing they have a month to month agreement with you anyway so they can always up your rent, or change your rental agreement, or require you to enter into a new one with just 30 days advanced notice anyway, so it is not likely to be very productive to fight them very hard. I doubt there was any sort of a security deposit but if so, and they did not receive it from the prior manager, that is a bigger problem and one they need to immediately fix since that is their problem and not yours.
