I rented a room on a verbal agreement lease. The agreement defined the tenant would receive the deposit back if he left the property in order and gave me a minimum 30 day notice. He gave me a 8 day notice, moved out and returned the keys. Now he wants his deposit back. What are my rights?
If she increases it again I'm sure it's going to be another 300 dollars. I live in east orange NJ. What would be my next step so I won't get charge that much?
Can we request the tenant vacate as a condition of sale?
To “make up” for this, they said they won’t increase it until after the first month, thus “giving us 30 days” of notice, but are they allowed to do that? Or can I force them to keep the rent the same?
Rent is going from 1750 to 2200

It depends on the language contained within the lease. I would contact an attorney to properly assess what your options are. There are very few leases that allow for the option of early termination.
