Ended lease
By: Smelen | 04-11-2008
I have signed a lease each year, for the last 3 years (in Florida & on the same property) and my rent has increased every year. In July (it's now November) I was informed that it was time to sign a new lease, and again, the amount was being raised by $50.00. However, the rental agency had made the expiration date November 30, 3008. I sent the lease back and explained that I would accept the terms as long as the lease was sent back with a correct date. A new lease was never sent back and I have been on a month to month (as far as I'm concerned) since July. I just received a bill from the management company stating that I should have been paying the $50 difference every month since July,and I owe them $200 in back rent. I was paying at the old rate as I never signed the lease because it was not returned to me corrected. Do I have to pay the $50 difference by law since there was no lease and no acceptance of the new rate?
