Lease Issue — rent increase above legal limit

I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

rent increase above legal limit. I've been dealing with this for about 8 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 8 years. My monthly rent is $2,816. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

I've dealt with this before.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I've handled similar cases. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under state landlord-tenant code. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct in violation of notice requirements.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is escalating to a supervisor/manager. I'd recommend following the formal complaint procedure instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.
