We have a current tenant that signed a one year lease over
10 years ago that included a stated amount, $700.00, her
original rent, as the terminal month's rent deposited. She
is now on a month to month. Since then, her monthly rent
has been progressively increased to $900.00 over the past
10 years. Our unit is in a rent control area and all the
increases followed the guidelines of the rent control
rules. Does this originally deposited amount, $700.00,
represent the maximum that we can charge her for the last
month she will occupy the unit, in which the rent is
currently $900.00? Are we permitted to collect the
difference of $200.00 now to be placed with her original
security deposit of $400.00. What notice do we need to
give the tenant that she needs to increase her last month's
rent deposited (if we can legally do so?).
