Nice ninja edit. WTF.

If you have a fully executed copy, pay what it says.

If you don't, then you're going to have to sign a new one.

OP,

Why are you being so evasive?

A guy doesn't bother to keep documentation, nor even remember the rate, and your default advice is to contest it so he can protect himself in the event this is one of those rare times the landlord is trying to pull a fast one? Interesting.

He took #1

I think you handled it perfectly. However...

This is very relevant. It's mind-blowing that a tenet would try to get a free month's worth of a utility the way he did. Combine that with it being a new tenet on a month-to-month, and I'm speechless.

Exactly what Im thinking.

Just tell us how much you were supposed to pay, and how much the lease shows.
LOL at trying to tell us "you dont remember the exact amount". Thats obviously bs.
How the hell do you not have copies of everything anyway?
You come across as really shady to be honest.

If you dont want to pay that extra $20 just tell them youre not paying it becasue you signed the lease at $X and see what happens. They likely can't/won't enforce the amendment.
Keep in mind this may piss off the owner (or apt manager?) and next time your lease is up for renewal you might get the shaft.

The last box of cereal I bought - I know it was probably $3.xx, but I don't know the xx. So then the store manager calls me up 3 days later and says the scanner didn't ring up the price listed in the aisle and that you actually paid $3.49 instead of $3.69, and to please drop off the 20 cents.

Why would I remember the exact amount??

I didn't realize that individual leases were required when one lives in a group home for the developmentally disabled.

who could have predicted op would act extremely shady, hide info, and argue with everyone who doesn't align with the response he was hoping to get

were you expecting just a huge circle jerk around you of posts like "damn, you are getting screwed friend!" and "wow, you are definitely in the right here!" without offering any real information and dodging any question of substance?

I'm not dodging anything, it's just people are using their supeduper-deductive internet powers to assume what I'm saying is false - and then going off on a tangent.

Answers please!

I also would not totally discount the landlord trying to change it after the fact. Residential leasing can be a scummy business.

BD,

What was the rent prior to the renewal?

You're dodging a bunch of valid questions itt.

You're being evasive and seemingly obtuse.

Assumptions are being made because you're not supplying facts that would help people give you valid advice.

What did the leasing office say when you asked them about the discrepancy in cost?

This is actually a good question and what I was in the process of calculating. The reason it's not straightforward is that my rent, garage fee, security alarm fee, and water bill all get combined into one monthly amount so it ends up $11xx.

Anyway, I'll end the suspense and say that yesterday I actually found the paper with lease rates and durations they sent out a few months ago, and it does say the renewal rate is $1050.

Case closed.

'I rest my case.'

'You rest your case?'

'Oh no, sorry I thought that was just an expression. Case closed.'
