Q: Is a landlord allowed to change your rent with out a 30,day notice
We were notified july 31 signed the new lease august 1. And I think we are expected to pay the new rent without a 30 day notice rent changed from 132 to 428 a month. Its a year lease and given only one day notice to these changes and told the we needed to sign our lease
A: If you signed the new lease you basically signed a new contract agreeing to the new rent, unless there is a Chicago ordinance I'm not familiar with that might change the situation. The time to bargain is before you sign a document, not afterwards.
