Hi,
I've been renting out a room for 5 months to a tenant on a month to month basis. Originally the tenant told me they'd be moving in March- that was two months ago. We have a written agreement. I previously informed the tenant that I was possibly looking to move once my lease was up. I decided to stay and my rent has gone up. Originally I agreed for the renter to pay $600 on a month to month basis because I thought it was short term. I typically split everything with renters. Since my lease is up for a renewal, my rent has increased. I have asked my tenant to renegotiate the terms of the month to month agreement for a split of the new rental payment which is $773.88. I gave the renter 15 days ago. I'd like to know what my rights are regarding this manner. The renter is refusing to pay the new rental amount and sign a new agreement. The renter is also refusing to grant me a 30 day written notice prior to vacating. They want a 15 day notice which I don't believe is lawful.
