Hello,
Me, my friend and his brother planned on moving into a 3 bedroom house for $1000 including everything but electric. That would make it $333 each which is what we needed because we couldnt afford more at the time. Right after we moved in & signed our month to month lease, the landlord said that because we had three people living in the house, we would have to start paying $1400 a month. That made the rent $467 per person, which was hard for us to afford. After my friends brother moved out, the landlord dropped the rent back down to $1000 a month, leaving me and my friend to pay $500 each per month. Legally, is she allowed to adjust the rent based on how many people are living in the house? And if so, can she raise it that much? She knew in the very beginning that 3 people were moving in - 1 for each bedroom. Help!
