[QUOTE="ewheeley, post: 2003306, member: 10387"] Question for those of you with a few years under your belt... The company that owns my townhouse was acquired by a different property management company, and today we received an "addendum" to our lease. The lease that we signed on 1 May, 2012. In the lease, they say that the pet deposit has gone up, and there will now be a monthly fee for pets. Fish... Fish count as pets now. I'm not really concerned, but my roommate has a cat and a fish, so unless he gets written permission from the new manager and pays $40 a month, we could theoretically be evicted. Worst case, he gets rid of the pets, but I don't see how a third party can change the terms of our lease without our consent or signature??? Worse, our neighbor (an accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, not a guy who might misunderstand something) told us that they've told him they're raising his rent. He said they went as far as to tell him that it's because he's single and established and can afford to pay more. He said that if they follow through, he'll sue them for discriminating against him. Overall, this situation could work out for me. I'm hoping they'll give us the option to get out of our lease, so I can move in with my girlfriend and we can both save money on rent. Let me know what you boys think. [/QUOTE]
