[quote name='JoshTX']Good luck with the lowball, I'll be checking it tomorrow. By the way, don't know the whole story behind your rent situation, but in most states it is only legal for a landlord to raise rent a certain percentage over a certain amount of time...they definitely cannot double it or anything like that, unless you were renting through a lease and it ran out.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, having it be a family member complicates things. I haven't ever had a written lease with the individual. It's just been verbal, and I've just been paying the same amount every month until this recent development.
