Can I change apartments in the same building w/o an increase in rent?

If you're not the lease holder of that apartment you share with your parents, you'd probably have to apply and put down a deposit to move into your own apartment on the premises. If you are the lease holder, they'd probably charge you some sort of fee to change residences unless there's a really good reason.

Your lease contract should have a section concerning notice periods for rent increases and termination of contract.  The usual period is one to two months but can vary, so check what it says. Increases are up to the landlord but generally take into consideration inflation and any repairs and maintenance carried out on the building by the owner, or any scheduled improvements and you should have all of this in writing, either in the contract or in separate communications.  Usual increases are up to but not more than about 25% every two years or so by reputable landlords.  If you do not have a contract for your present premises ask your landlord for one or look for some where else to live as he will only do the same next year.  Good Luck.

Yes.  They often get a commission from the people who own apartments.  Look in the phone book under Rental Properties.

a landlord can do pretty much as the please if they put it in the lease and you sign it. did you lie on the application?? that would be grounds for you getting kicked out...

no they cant ask for additional deposits if you have a lease sounds to me like someone is scamming you ,call the head office and ask for owner or the person under him let him no what the manager is doing ,you can also go to the library and get a book called The Landlord and Tenant Book it has a lot of interesting things in it

Ask the apartment complex owner for a copy-by law they have to give you one.  And you should have gotten one when you signed up for the apartment-if you didn't you are not responible for paying such a fee-if you didn't get one anyways

Unfortunately the landlord can raise to as high as he wants.  But if he did that he would not have anybody renting.  What has happened is that the rent in your area has gone up.  So in return your new landlord can ask what the rent is dictating in your market area.  The only suggestion is to work out some sort of agreement.  Tell him your situation and hope for the best.

address the people/company you are renting from. i am sure they could work something suitable out for you with your being able to move. they are reasonable people or should be. things happen beyond our control sometimes and i know they know that too. next time you get room mates have them added onto the lease with your leaser. that way you are not totally responsible for everything.

No.  He might change them for you if they need changing, but it'll come out of your deposit.  If you're moving out, he'll probably change them.\n\nHere's a thought (might work, depending on the vacancy rate in the building and in your neighborhood):  When your lease is nearly up, tell him that you are considering leaving, but that you would stay if he would replace your carpets at his expense, since he'll have to do that for a new tenant anyway.  Worth a shot.

No my quick search failed to turn up an state specific statute on rent increase. So it must be covered by common law.\nIn common Law once your lease runs the Landlord is free to set a new price at whatever he wants(Unless your lease agreement had an option to renew).\n\nI would recommend getting an attorney with specific experience in Indiana property law for this -- there might be some fact specific cause of action.

LOL... sorry but this is really bs.\n\n1. A lease is for a specific period of time, till May 1st.\n2. There are typically(or atleast I've never seen) provisions for automatic renewal(unless month to month) or, and this is laughable, rent that is due after the lease is terminated...\n\nUnless you were on a month to month lease, you would not have to give notice to quit.  There are typically notice periods only for yor wish to renew.\n\nAnother issue that I have with this situation is when did they give you notice of the rent change?  Typically, cause I don't know what state you are in, 30 day notice is required by the landlord to make changes... The door swings both ways here... They CANT raise your rent without providing sufficient notice, either!\n\nFinally, there is an unwritten rule of reason/ability which is what I've come into contact with any time I've had to go to court for a real estate deal.  No court is going to penalize you for giving 22 days notice in a month, even if you were terminating a lease for a set term.\n\nYou have to call the corporate office or talk to this managers supervisor.  Read your lease, then make a stink.

Be sure to click Apply and OK after you make the changes.\nE

Nothing the owner has the right to sell her house whenever and to whomever she wants. If you didn't want to move before, why do you want to now? I would contact the current landlord and make sure that the terms of your current lease are still valid, and just continue on like before. Now if she is trying to change the terms and increase the rent then I could understand your having a problem, but as it stands why go through the expense of moving if you don't  have to. Now if she is suggesting you move for one reason or another then your lease can be considered broken and they would forfeit the right to any monies owed.

I know in my town it is.\nThere are furnished apartments, or non furnished as well...\nso you could test living with other people's furniture to save yourselves the trouble of moving stuff.\nFurnished apartments are usually about 1/2 as much more again though (so if an unfurnished was $400/mo., a furnished would usually be $600/mo.).\nI recommend getting the phone numbers of superintendants of big buildings or rows of buildings to ask them about their one-month options, smaller buildings (or single buildings) are usually less open to the idea.\nYou'll probably need to put down a damage deposit, and get parental signatures ~ the building superintendants will want to be sure you're not a couple of apartment-trashing rowdys looking for a place to party for a month.\n\nAll that aside, I'd like to make a recommendation ~ don't move out from home sooner then necessairy.\nI could easily list about 20 people I know who all regret moving away from home as soon as they did. Contrarily, I can only think of 2 who say they should maybe have left sooner.\nIt's a sweet deal living at home and having all (or most of) your money to yourself rather than to bills... and while I'm giving advice, I highly recommend saving at least 1/2 of all the money you do get for later in life. Believe me, you WILL need it.\nOnce you move out, the idea of 'spending cash' becomes laughable for most folks. Getting started on your own (even with friends) in life is way harder than you probably imagine.\nIt was for me.\n\nWhatever you decide to do, I wish you luck!\n~ Apple
