If a landlord fails to provide a copy of a countersigned renewal lease to the tenant, does the rent still increase?
My understanding is that if a landlord doesn't execute a lease renewal by returning a countersigned copy of the renewal lease, the rent doesn't increase until such time that that occurs (presumably meaning in the month following tenant's receipt of the countersigned lease).
Looking on form RTP-8 (9/19), I see the provisions regarding 'rights' and barring the landlord from commencing an action based on non-renewal, but nothing about the rent.
I would appreciate information as to what happens with the rent in such a circumstance and where that is documented.
Thanks.
