Can my landlord raise my rent over high electric bills when the rental agreement is binding unless an amendment is signed by all parties? Our rental agreement has no maximum amount set for utilities.
Answer
I would need to read over your lease in order to answer this question. If you have no lease and are instead a month to month tenant, then your landlord can effectively change the lease every month via advance notice of one rental period. That would include new rental terms which assign utilities to you, assuming that they were previously his responsibility. Your only legal remedy then would be to move elsewhere.
