written lease? a lease with start - end dates?

any “rental agreement” (what is called a lease in my part of the country) that i have had specifies start/end dates, the monthly rent, each parties maintenance responsibilities, etc. i have never see. a lease that lets the owner increase the rent arbitrarily.

maybe i am misunderstanding what kind of agreement you have.

"rental agreement"? ret5hd May 27 #1

I've never seen a lease that lasts 15 years that would prevent any rent increases for as long as the renter was there. MichMan May 27 #3

A contract that ended 14 years ago has zero relevance MichMan May 27 #8

so a yearly 30 day notice of an annual increase is lawful... Grasswire2 May 27 #9

The original contract expired 14 years ago and is no longer valid MichMan May 27 #10
