New apartment/lease. Conflicting cost of rent.?
Friend is getting new apartment. (1 bed/bath, only needs to pay electric)
good deal but landlord has sloppy paperwork habits, already proven.
Signed lease =$771
Listing (online) = $825
Security deposit (1 month) = $808
Also asked friend to sign form (state funded electric coverage, state pays landlord $75 to add electric into lease. FRAUD, tenant still pays electric)
Lanlord-tenant signed agreement is $771. Less than 1 week and changed price of rent.
But landlord wants $808 monthly & security. (no other fees attached) a $50 application fee already paid.
___
Is this legal.
Move in date July 1st.
I just told friend to stay @ $771 -or- move. Landlord creating problems. There should be more to come.

Related laws vary by location. We have no clue where in the world this is, nor are we seeing the lease agreement.
It wouldn't be uncommon that rent gets prorated for a move-in date that cuts the initial month short, or something similar.
If your friend doesn't like what's going on, your friend can bail on the lease agreement. With enough notice, the landlord may even refund the security deposit.

WRITE to the landlord stating that you intend to abide by the written and signed lease. State that any attempt of harassment on his part will be documented and used as defense of your position WHEN the matter ends up in court. Send a copy of the notice and the lease to whatever agency in your city takes care of landlord and tenant rules. Then put a nanny cam in the apartment and live your life. Report to police anytime the landlord goes into the apartment without valid reason.
