It’s a sign that your school does well, according to him … he is just taking a gamble, you can move or stay … you’re probably going to stay so he wins … you lose, so start banging your head …
And of course, you should immediately ask the other occupants of the building if they’ve also had their fees doubled. If not, why not? A building meeting would surely be in order. Stick a sign in the elevator to this effect. See what happens.
Yes, they are all being hit with the same thing. There was a meeting (they didn’t tell us about though so we missed it). No one is happy about it. 6to 12k for a guy who chainsmokes all day.
Why? because the rent is too GD high for anyone here in Palookaville to afford. Tenants are not resigning their leases. Duh, should I draw him a diaphram?
Seriously though, can this fucking fucker do this?

Don’t understand how that could happen ( read tongue in cheek) given that you aren’t new to the country and all. Best of luck with that man…If you gotta move then something good is to come from all of it…
Well, I dont wanna know how to work through the problem, I wanna know if he can legally DO it. Gosh, as a liberal bush hater, I’m surprised at you DB for telling me to work it through instead of just assuming he’s wrong and needs to be stopped!!!
JD, assuming you have alease or rental contract, then check it and see what provisions are in the contract for such an increase, if none, then tell him to shove his increase where the sun dont shine, if the contract has a cluase allowing the increase, then sorry mate, you are going to have to pay.
[quote=“jdsmith”]Oh, so here’s the sortaconclusion:
The landlord died; his daughter will pay 100% of the security fee and we will renegotiate the rent in May.[/quote]
Wait.
What?
Explain again, for an old sailor…
The landlord wants to double your security fee from 6 to 12k per month.
Everyone is unhappy.
The landlord then DIES.
His daughter offers to pay all your security fees until May.
