Texas- Landlord changed rental rate in the middle of the lease
I have lived at Pine Knoll apartment complex in Longview Texas for 2 years. I signed a new, year long, lease agreement in June. Today, Sept. 14, I come home to a notice on my door stating that they are raising my rent by $40 a month. There are no hidden facts here. I am current and have always acted within the parmeters of the lease agreement. The lease is a standard TAA agreement. Can they do this? I see nothing that says they can. I thought the lease was a legaly binding contract for both parties. Also, can they charge more for pets than the lease says not to exceed? Where can a person go for help?
