You need to check Fair Housing To see if this is legal where you live. There is such a thing as rental increases, but its usually legal at about 15% of your current rent.\n\nFrom what I have found so far, PA does not have rent control laws. Still searching for possibilities.\n\nThe only thing that could help you is if you have a lease. A landlord/owner cannot change the terms of a lease in the middle of it. If you are month to month, then I dont see any other options. Sorry.

The interst rate has gone up and probably will again in another months time. I would suggest to wait....

Daizy, \nIt looks to me that what you're saying is this...\n... you refinanced your house and had been given a good faith estimate that at first looked ok to you.  Around closing time, the payment was much higher than you expected.  Probably the interest rate was higher than what the loan officer first calculated.  To get the payment to a point that would "satisfy" you at the closing table, the loan officer reduced the escrow account significantly - resulting in your current shortage.\n\nIf that's it, the words you're looking for are "PREDATORY LENDING".  Contact your state's agency that regulates lenders.  If you're in Texas, call 1-877-276-5550 to file a complaint.  The FBI is also getting after these people.  Call their local office. \n\nI'm proud of you for trying to find the solution to this problem.  Don't give up.\n\nRichard

Get a business license then make sure the lot is zoned for commercial use.  Put up signs that show rates.  Get a gate attendant or a gate system.\n\nThat's just what I would do.  There probably are a lot more technical issues.

The 30$ fee is not required, it's bogus. You aren't going to get the lease.\nLook somewhere else.

Where are you located?  Some municipalities have a cap on rent increases, and others do not.  You would need to check with your particular city.\n\nI know in San Francisco, the limit is 4% per year.  Berkeley has similar restrictions too.  Other cities have no restrictions.  So, it all depends on where you live.

I was offered one last Christmas what happens is that you will still incur interest on the full balance of the loan so your actual loan balance will increase by that amount. The first thing any homeowner can do is study their aromatization sheet. It lays out how much of each payment is going towards principal and how much towards interest. When you skipped that payment the amount of interest ADDED to your principal. And if you are in the first few years of your mortgate that is the majority of your payment. That is what may have happened. Hope that is helpful

Okay...\n\nYou've made $8250 from the first 100k, that's established.\n\nThat means you've made another $7000, at a rate of 5%.  (Add $140,000).\n\nSo you've got a total price of $240,000 for the property.

YOU MAY WANT TO READ THIS ANSWER -- THE OTHERS ARE WRONG !!!\n\nYes, your understanding is correct that when you convert a rental property into a principal residence there may be capital gains consequences.\nIf you have never lived in this property but are contemplating doing so, what you need to do in order to determine whether there is a gain is to obtain a current "fair market value" of the property. In your case, you will want as low a value as possible, so get it appraised or ask a real estate agent to give you a potential selling price given the area, market values, and condition of house (so get this done BEFORE you make any repairs).\nTo determine if there is a CG : take the current FMV and subtract from it the price you purchased the house for (example....if you bought it for 80K and it is valued at 96K when you move in...then your gain is 16K) but from this 'gain' you get to subtract any costs or outlays you incurred (these include legal bills to purchase the property + land transfer taxes + appraisals + capital improvements to the property that were never expensed such as new furnace or new roof or new appliances etc....) so to continue the example...if these totalled 12K, then your CG would now be 16K - 12K = 4K...so you would need to pay tax on HALF of this gain or 2K. The tax would be whatever your tax rate is for your income level x 2K (21%, 31%, as high as 46%).\nIf your CG is actually negative, then there is NO tax owing as there is NO capital gain.\nAlso, here's a small but significant point, if you have not been claiming the rental income on your tax returns these past years, then you certainly would be foolish to all of a sudden claim capital gains.\n\nIn a nutshell, you will want to have as LOW a fair market value as you can currently, have as many outlays accounted for as possible (many of these will be found on the Statement of Adjustments from the lawyer at time of purchase -- also any bills for improvements) as these go to lessen the 'actual' or deemed gain.\nAlso, if you initially did live in the house for a time and then converted to rental...then this may be of benefit as when you converted to rental (there is no CG as it was primary residence) the FMV at that time becomes your ACB - Adjusted Cost Base, which you use to calculate the CG instead of the purchase price.\n\nAlso, be careful reading the advice some are giving -- they really sounded unknowledgable.

Rent is fixed.  If you sell one burger or a million, it won't change the rent.  You'll have to do the math on the other stuff.

Write a letter explaining the reasons behind the increase. Most people will be happy with an honest explanation.\n\nGive as much notice as you can too.

Unless stated in writing previously, the landlord does not owe you a dime. If you were to undo the changes, the landlord could charge you, keep your security and/or sue you in court. I would suggest sucking it up and play nice and see if you could get anything out of your landlord. He is not required to give you anything whatsoever.

Your fee sounds reasonable, but you can probably increase it a little. Just hike it $5.00/hour (plead expenses such as gas have increased) for about 3 or 6 months, then hike it $5.00 again.

Check your lease.  Your landlord likely is holding your deposit in a non-interest bearing account.  It's highly unusual for interest to be owed to renters when and if a deposit is refunded.
