Extension, Renewal lease amount clarification

Hi

Our relative is trying to understand why they keep sending him a larger bill than in the lease. The lease has an asterisk, but it's not clear to me if it means the amount is variable or not from the amount next to the signature

I'm attaching the lease below

Read the document CAREFULLY.
All one needs to know is there in black and white.

If there are supporting documents, read them, too.

The lease is of no help without knowing how much he is being billed for and how much he thinks he should be paying.

Give us both the dollar amounts.

Bill from 11/1/21

The lease "should" be $1159.69, but the bill above mentions bunch of previous charges but no mention of $1159.69. It also mentions $1183.55. Does this mean that the rent is variable? The lease talks vaguely about changes, but I'm not clear

Sorry, I can't figure it out. your relative is going to have to go into the rental office and have them review his account with him and explain every item. He should bring his payment records with him.

You seem to be seeking specific legal advice on behalf of someone else. That's beyond the scope of a message board and wouldn't be legally proper for anyone other than an attorney admitted to practice in New York. Please also review the disclaimer at the bottom of every page at this site.

Once your relative receives an explanation, she should consult with a local attorney.

P.S. Not a good idea to post documents with your relative's full name and address.
