Q: What are my rights when living in a house we are remodeling for owner and only pay rent when not able to work on house
Agreement was my husband remodels house in side and out in exchange for rent 700 month utilities included when work hours do not add up to 700 we pay the difference has been working out for 5 months and then out of nowhere they are saying the rent is 900 utilities are not included and suggested if we can't pay it to move out what are my legal rights do I have time to save money to find a place
A:
Hopefully you have a written lease to validate the $700/mo plan. Otherwise, you likely have a month to month lease which allows either party to change the terms of the lease on very little notice.
Good Luck!
