    No, sorry the landlord merely asked you to pay more, if you had a written lease there was no obligation to do so.
    The state the lease is written for, as long as it does not have any terms not allowed has no bearing. I will assume the house address is correct.

    They can not merely scratch out the date unless you and them both initial it, so the original date is still the valid day.
