Yоur client, а lаndlоrd, leаsed residential prоperty to a tenant. The written lease was for a period of one year, with the monthly rent of $1,000 payable on or before the first of each month. The termination date set out in the lease was October 1. On August 10 of the first year of her tenancy, the tenant received a letter from the client along with a new lease form. The lease was for a period to terminate on October 1 of the following year, and the rent stated in the new lease was $1,200 per month. Both the rent increase and the notice given were in full compliance with relevant state statutes. An accompanying letter, signed by the client, asked the tenant to sign the lease on the line marked "tenant." On September 15, the tenant sent the lease back to the client unsigned. On September 20, the tenant sent a letter to the client by certified mail. The client signed the return receipt, which the post office duly sent to the tenant.
