Rent raised after repairs made in rental
Our landlord recently had to replace the heating/cooling system when the old (1969!) one failed. Now they want to increase our rent. My understanding is that in CA a landlord cannot increase one's rent within 6 months of doing any kind of necessary repairs to the property. Is this true?
Also, they want to increase our security deposit for the second time with the increase in rent. Is this legal? Just because the rent goes up, we shouldn't have to pay an additional amount toward the security deposit, should we? :confused: Thanks!
