Last month my lease expired and my rent was changed from $50 per month to $625 per month. My landlord conveniently went on vacation for a month when the recertification papers were due. When she got back, she said they were late even though I turned them in to her and she sent them back right before going on vacation making it impossible for me to give them to her.
I am in the process of moving out. I did not sign any agreement to pay that increased rent and now she is sueing me for the rent. Am I going to have to pay back the increased rent even though I never agreed to paying that much in the first place?
