Question by joefishal: During a lease renewal can a landlord make you pay more money on a deposit you have already made?
I have just signed a renewal lease that raises my rent by 3%.
My landlord also wants that extra 3% tacked onto the deposit, which I had paid several years ago after moving in. Do you have to also up the price on your deposit? It sounds fishy to me.

Question by Ashley D: Lease agreement renewal still valid with new roommate?
I have a lease agreement with our apartment complex in Kansas with two other girls. Our lease is up Sept 11, 09 and we were just offered a lease renewal.

One of my roommates is planning on moving out later this week and is putting in her 60 day notice with the complex.

My question is this: If she is getting off the lease and we choose to renew it, with a new third roommate, is the lease offer they gave us still valid? Or can they make the decision to put our rent back to market value price?

If all 3 were on the lease, the new one must sign in place of the one leaving. Discuss it with management before too close to re-new date.

This is hard to answer without seeing the original lease. Many common leases have a clause that a tenant needs to provide notice of intent not to renew. It’s not good enough to say that you “may” move, and not sign the lease.

If there is no clause in the lease, and nothing that says he needs to give a certain notice of intent to move (even if it’s at the end of the lease) then he should be clear to move without penalty.

I think someone needs to carefully read the entire lease.
