Raising the Rent

By JMD

In Feb. my landlord raised my rent to $975.00 a month up from the orginal $850.  He had me sign a 5 month lease instead of a year.  Now he is raising it to $1,200.00 a month.  He is doing this without any warning and he knows I can’t offord to pay that.  So now with only a months notice I have to find a new place.  Is this legal for him to do this?
