Can a landlord ask you for income verification in middle of lease term?
<p>I have lived here for 8 months. I filled out the application on line and gave them the income verification and the money to move in.you can't get approved or accepted into apartments if you don't give them your income verification.After being here 8 months they somehow don't have e it a d need it for recent? Are they allowed to do this? They also changed my lease around and added new rules and put it in my original lease like it was there when I moved in. Those were not on the lease when I signed. And they are threatening me to sign or get out now and give them income verification now or leave. I been here 8 Months.  I pay on time. I never bother anyone.</p>

<p>One party cannot unilaterally change a contract (obviously some edge-case exceptions apply, but we're talking the general case here).</p>
<p>You signed a lease.  That is the lease in effect.  I assume you kept a copy.  A sketchy landlord can try a hundred different things to try to convince you that other terms apply, <strong>but they do not</strong>.</p>
<p>All the landlord can do is not renew your lease at the end of its term.  If this isn't a concern for you, and you don't mind confrontation, tell them to get lost.</p>
<p>I will add that asking you for income verification or changing lease terms on their end isn't depriving you of any rights.  They haven't actually done anything to you yet.</p>
