The issue focused around me changing my lease without notifying them first. 
 
 I've lived here for 5 years, always paying rent, until recently, when they suddenly increased my rent. 
 
 Now I'm stuck paying rent while my landlord lets me stay without notice, even though I'm clearly supposed to get paid until my lease ends. 
 
 It's extremely frustrating. 
 
 Does anyone know how I should handle this?
