Q: I have a signed lease with a pet addendum added. Monthly amount for my 2 dogs is $30.00 (very reasonable).
Dates of lease are 9/01/2023 to 07/31/2023. The apartment is trying to change lease terms on me now. They want to charge more for my pets but didn’t inform me prior to signing.
Do I have any legal recourse here?

A: If you have a signed lease that stipulates the cost for your pets, the landlord generally cannot change these terms unilaterally during the lease period. If they attempt to, you could potentially sue for breach of contract.
