My roommate just received a new job so had to get a car in order to make a commute. Currently I am paying $75 for parking and went in to get a second parking pass. I was told while doing this that for a second car for an apartment they charge $120 per month. I was shocked since I hadn't heard this before. I checked my lease and nowhere in there does it say anything about $120 for a second car. There is actually a spot that says $75 per car per month. So here's my question can my landlord change the pricing of parking even though the lease says something else?

Thanks for any help,
Sokkar

The lease already says $75 per car pr month. Per the lease, you should be paying $150 per month for 2 cars.

However, are you still on a lease that has not yet expired? If it expired, you then automatically go month-to-month in most states. When this occurs, rent increases are fair game.

Call the office and tell them your lease states $75 per car. They cannot legally charge you more until the lease expires.

FIRST get clarification. Do they want $75 for the first car and $120 for the second car...or do they want a total of $120 for both cars? That latter would be nice.
