Akelius / subletting a unit, being asked to sign a new lease with a huge rent increase
« on: March 01, 2022, 05:11:12 pm »
Hello All,
It is is my first time posting here, I apologize if I'm doing anything incorrectly.
I am currently subletting an apartment in an akelius building of off st clair. The original tenant is not returning, and both they and the landlord said I would be able to stay in the unit after the sublet agreement. The landlord insisted on a new lease rather than a lease assignment. They are asking I pay more about $300 more monthly. I can't really afford this, but I also have less than a month to find a new place now and I am having trouble finding anything. Is there anything I can do? Is it worth talking to the landlord and essentially begging them to keep the rent the same?
Thank you for anyone who took the time to read this.
