What is the name of your state? California
Hello, I'm sure this is a re-hash, but I need advice asap on what to do.
We were away on vacation when the rental office for our building put a notice to raise rent on our door. They also mailed a copy, so we have an official notification date. Here are the facts:
1. Notice mailed January 19, 2004.
2. Asking us to renew by Feb. 1, 2004, with rent raise effective March 1, 2004 (not a full 60 days notice).
We have lived here almost 3 years (June 1, 2004) and have never received an increase, even though our actual lease expired in June of 2002.
This paper says if we don't send in the intent to renew by FEB. 1, we will be charged a different increase than was shown on the "notice" mailed to us.
WE've tried to contact Anaheim housing (where we live) and after 4 days of leaving messages we've never heard back from them. Tomorrow is Feb. 1st. We are going to extend our lease, but should this become effective on April 1st, or on the 60th day after notice (March 19, not March 1st as stated in notice).
Since the housing office is closed and this becomes due over this weekend, what can we do? Again, we want to stay, but now we have no advice or legal backing before having to meet their deadline to notify of intent to renew...
Thanks for any help!
