I need to get a lease renewal form from my current landlord.
We live in a co-op. He told our Super that he is going to raise the rent.
Since it is a co-op, are there legal guidelines as to how high he can raise our rentt, or can he raise the rent as much as he likes?
Since the building maintenence fee has not gone up this year, can he raise the rent much?
If the rent is raised to a ridiculous amont, do I have a right to dispute the rent increase at a co-op board meeting?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
