How and when do I "upgrade" apartments with the same company?

Ask now. Why wait? Get your name in first. I did the same thing in my old building (went from a studio to a one bedroom). The circumstances were slightly different, but it was no big deal. Call them today and set it up. If you've been a good tenant, there should be no problem and they'll be glad to rent it to someone already there.

If not in writing it's going to be tough to fight it. Unless it was specifically addressed in your verbal agreement they have every legal right to ask for additional deposit. Obviously if you've been there for 10 years you must like the place a lot; probably not worth fighting.

That's not going to happen.\njust because that would require a full time webmaster to keep up with all the changes.\nA big place like LV is going to have two section 8 offices.\none for the city and another for the county.\nAll of those offices should have current listings but they change daily.  \nIt's possible to call an office have them Fax you a current listing.\nthe only other choice you have is the newspaper will have some listings the say section 8 approved. but if you find a place you like just call and ask the owner if he'll take it.\nhttp://www.lasvegasnewspapers.com/lvclassifieds/category_display.jsp?category=rent&display_day=0\n\nKeep in mind there steps you'll have to follow.\nonce you find a place it will be inspected before it can be aproved even if it was aproved in the past.\nyou can move in before that but if it fails inspection you may  be stuck with the lease.

Well,Ask yourself these Questions before you do anything\n1)Whats the reason for your landlord to increase the rent by 10%?\n\na)Is it because you have a second child?(check your tenancy agreement if there is such clause)\nb)Is it because the ceiling was fixed at their cost,so they are trying to increase the rent?(check your tenancy agreement)\nc)Is your tenancy agreement expiring soon and they take it as an opportunity to increase the rent?\n\nIf none of the above reasons,I suggest you to find get another place.Your landlord is likely to chase you out.\n\nGood luck

This is a stab in the dark. But from what I know when you work for someone and you use there name Wagner homes, Well It stayes with them. You can ask Yahoo since you paid for the upgrade yourself and ask them to transfer the upgrade to a new account and new name. But if was something like \nwagnerhomes123@yahoo.com they will end up givein it to someone else in the company. This is The Main reason that I have My work E-Mail and 2 Others the others ie hotmail/yahoo you will never lose them no one can take them (Im 99% sure on this) E-mail Yahoo but dont get your hopes up sorry to hear about your loss on your job but I hope you found a better one

The answer depends on the company policy and how badly the company wants you at the new location. You just have to ask and see what the situation is. \n\nI have volunteered to relocate. My company policy automatically kicked in and most of my expenses were covered.  Some smaller companies may not have the resources to do the same.

If you're looking to live in the city I would suggest Stevens Community Apartments.  I LOVED this rental company in Minneapolis the entire 2 years I lived in their building and was sad to leave when I moved out of state.  Their buildings are located mostly around Stevens Square in the Stevens/Loring Heights neighboorhoods.  Its basically in between uptown & downtown very close to Loring Park & the Walker.  Everybody in the rental office knew are names right away and always greated us when we came in to pick up packages.  They even gave us a welcom basket with laundry tokens, toliet paper, chips, & cleaning products.  The neighborhood can seem a bit sketchy at first but in the 2 years I lived there I never had a problem, and I actually loved how very urban it felt with all the old buildings in the area.  Another bonus of that is nealry all the apartments have all or nearly all hardwood floors.  The prices generally start at about $535 for a studio/one bedroom and go up from there with deposit  being the same about as the 1st month's rent.  You should check though because sometimes they have specials.  Otherwise I had good luck looking on Craig's list too, and their you can even look to move in with other people so you don't have to pay so much on your own.  Good luck!

Legally with most apts. in MN you need to give at least 60 days notice in writing.  This also has to be delivered to the apt manager at least 60 days prior to your lease being up.  What part of MN.  I am also having problems with my apt. manager.  Just curious to know.  I have never heard of your lease automatically renewing though.  Are you sure that it doesn't just go from the 1 year lease to a month to month lease.  Also, You said that you looked at your original lease, does it say anything in there about it automatically renewing itself?  If not they can not hold you to it.  They would need to file an addendum stating that you are renewing your lease.  You would have to sign this in order for you to be held to the contract.  These are just some thoughts, i don't want you to think that i am an expert or anything like that, because i am not.  But please let me know what part of MN, and the outcome\n\nThanks

My dad owns two appartment buildings besides the house we live in. One is a triplex and the other one is also a triplex but with a corner store.\n\nWe try to do all the maintainance ourselves, and if we cannot, we call someone, after researching best price for quality.\n\nKeep the rules tight, no loose ends. Always take the rent for a new resident for the first and last month. That way if they run away (happened to us twice), you do not actually lose anything.\n\nIf the tenants stay in the building for a long time and they are good, we try not to increase the rent much each year. For example, the grocery store guy gives started at like 700 per month, but after like over 15 years, we capped it at 1250.

Was your orginal lease for only 6 months or 1 year?  If it was for one year, I believe that the home had to sell under the terms of the origianl signed lease/rent amount.  If it was only for 6 months, and then they made you sign a new one with the increase, there isn't much you can do.  As another answer stated, unless there was a "days notice" provision within the original lease, you might be sol.  My husband and I own a rental property and the lease clearly states that after the natural expiration of the origianl lease, lessee or lessor must provide 60 day written notice of intent to move, sell or increase rent.  This is not only designed to protect us as landlords (so the tenants can't just bail on us), but also protect the tenants from us selling the house.  We also added into the lease that if we chose to sell the property during the time of their original lease, the lease would be transferred to the new owner/ladlord, as is, that no increase or changes could be implemented until the expiration of the lease.  If you ever rent again there are a few things you should make sure of:\n\n1.  When the preliminary walk through is done, make sure they have a check list of all the appliances, condition of the home, (cracks, dents in walls, etc.), etc. that you both sign off on.  You should also get a copy of this checklist as well.  This way when you move out, there is a clear outline of the items, conditions, etc. and there will be no surprises.  \n\n2.  Make sure your lease clearly states what will happen if the property is sold while you are under contract with them.  If there is nothing in the lease that discuss days notice, etc., make sure it is added.  \n\n3.  Ask the landlord what happens if you decide to live in the house beyond the termination of the lease.  Will the rent amount increase?\n\n4.  Ask for points of contact for repairs and emergencies.  Who handles them?  Is there a request for repair form that you need to complete?  \n\nGoogle the phrase renters rights.  There are a lot of sites that deal with laws and regulations for each specific state.  If you were not given notice, and you feel that you were coerced into signing a new lease because you had no where else to go, you may have a case.  Good luck.

The lease from the previous landlord is still in effect. When does it expire?  When an investment property is sold, the new owner has also purchased all the leases that are in effect at the time of purchase.  Once that lease is up, it is up to the new owner whether or not A) he wants to let you stay, B) whether he wants to just renew the lease you were in with the old owner and C) whether he wants to have you sign a whole new lease (make sure you read it). \nI work for a commercial real estate management firm and encounter this on a regular basis.  Just keep paying rent and closer to the time that your current lease expires (I'd say a month and a half before) contact the owner and ask if they intend to let you continue leases the place and explain that you'd like to have something in writing.  Read your current lease. Did the old owner put any options in there? Like "tenant has the right to renew this lease with XX days written notice"?\n\nAs for rent escrow - that should only be used when the Landlord has failed to make repairs that inhibit the liveability of the premises, such as replacing the hvac system if it died, replacing the roof, etc.  Don't use rent escrow because you want a new lease.\n\nI can't stress enough - READ YOUR LEASE. That's where all the information you could ever need as to your rights as a Tenant will be.  It's the Bible of your residence rights.

Are you both moving there without any job offer?  If so, they would probably rent to you with a larger security deposit.  The best thing to do is call around and ask their requirements.  If they hesitate, then tell them you could pay for the first 6 months upfront.
