I (renter) signed a 10 month lease on August 9, 2009. I agreed to pay $800 per month for ten months. I was not informed at that time or at any other time that the two current renters were paying $600 a month. Approximately two weeks after I signed my lease, a fourth renter signed a lease for $600 a month. My roommates paid $7200 for 12 months and I paid $8000 for 10 months; a total difference of $2000. I did not recieve any additional privileges, parking space, or storage space and my room is equal in size to the other rooms in the house. I was unfairly and inequitably billed a higher rate and other renters were given preferential treatment. I addressed the situation with my landlord at the end of my lease (June 30, 2010) and she offered a $400 compensation for the disparity in rent (20% of what I was overcharged throughout the year), which I was willing to accept. I later received an email from my landlord on July 6th, stating that she would no longer be giving me the $400 to compensate for $2000 I was overcharged for the past 10 months. I think an acceptable solution would be to receive half of what I was overcharged ($1000), in addition to my entire security deposit ($800).
