My lease expires Jan.31st. On Dec.1st I talked to my landlord about renewing my lease, he said he would get the paper work together. I got it today Jan.3rd, he raised my rent $200.00 a month and wants to do a walk thur this Thursday. My rent is already $1000.00 a month I can't afford this increase and only have 28 days to find another place. Can landlords to this? Doesn't he have to give me more of a notice?
Yes he can raise the rent. No, you don't have to be out in 28 days. When your lease expires it automatically rolls over to a month to month. Your LL was tardy in getting the new lease to you and he has not given you the new lease in a timely fashion nor sufficient notice of the rent increase as legally required. Check your lease and your state landlord tenant laws about the notice to quit requirement (i.e. whether it's 30 days from the date you give notice or 30 days/one month from the date your rent is due). If the former, it's 30 days from when you give him notice this month; the latter, the end of February. Whichever, he can't charge you the increased rent for February.
i live in edmonton, alberta, and I am wondering whose responsibility it is to go about renewing a lease. My lease was up on Jan. 1, and I have received no word from my landlord for the last couple months about whether I am looking to renew my lease or not. I was under the impression that he would contact me. Now my rent is $65 more expensive this month (not that big of a deal, but I am a student so an extra $65 a month is not ideal) and I wasn't even given any sort of notice that my rent would increase either! Basically for the last 4 months of my lease, my landlord has been non-existent to me with no form of communication to tell me anything thats going on.
Anyways, my question is whether it was his responsibility to inform me my lease was up, or if it was my responsibility to tell him I wanted to renew it?

There is usually a clause in your lease related to renewal so you should check that first. I don't know how much the Canadian landlord tenant laws differ from the US state laws but you should do a google on what's applicable to your province. Good luck.

You might get better answers if you ask this in this forum. //www.city-data.com/forum/edmonton/ Or start a new discussion thread here titled Canada: Renewing a lease. Otherwise you will get a lot of responses based on US laws that may not hold true for Canada.

Take them to Court and ask a Judge to see it YOUR way.
Your (one) point is that THEY wrote the contract. If this continuing fee deal statement
was in any way occluded by other statements the Judge very well may see it your way.
Don't count on it but they might.
The suit might also motivate that RE agent to compromise.
My now ex boyfriend and I are cotenants we both signed a six months lease agreement with the apartment. We're at the end of the term of that lease, does renewing the lease means everything stay as is or do we need to sign a new lease agreement?

Lease renewals are usually automatic and the terms remain the same. If you qualify to rent the unit on your own, talk to your LL and ask that a new lease be made up in your name only.
