Quick question: our landlord has increased the rent twice within the last year and they stated that paragraph 26 of our lease permits, the changes of rent in advance of 30 days. I thought that you cannot change a rent unless the lease is expired. so in this case landlord increase however much they want or are there any limitations or right as a renter it feels like too much at this point then we signed the lease for

They can't change mid lease unless you're on a month to month. You signed a deal to pay x for y months.

‘Landlords can't increase the rent in the middle of a lease term, unless they stated a clause in their written lease agreement.’ Im in VA and thats what i read. So it seems like they can increase as much as they can and whenever they want and however, many times they want.

What state do you live in?

Va

You must technically be on a month to month lease agreement. If so, yes it’s legal. 😕 I would ask for a 12 month renewable fixed lease.

If you have a fixed 12 month lease, this is very much illegal. Unless it specifically states the landlord will give you 30 days notice for a price adjustment in the lease. I hope not. I world never sign a lease that says that.

You signed the agreement that allows them to change. People need to learn to read the contracts they enter into.

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Went into a multi family property 50/50 with a relative against my gut. Things are going horrible. Need to get out. Best options? Buy him out? He invested maybe 4-5K in time (demolition work) and 2K in cash. I’ve managed the whole thing for 9 months. 10% of gross rents (as a management fee) would be about the same (6-7K)). Bought at low in market just after COVID hit. I want to keep the building. Seems fair to give him his initial investment back + some additional money for market gains. Help!
