<prompt> Human: Weve been tenants since January 2012, but the current landlord had only purchased the property February 2015. We have been essentially month to month because we are long term tenants. She sent us a letter by mail this week, with a notice saying Youve been my tenants for 2 years I dunno how she came up with that and your rent is well below market rate if you call 2190 for a 2 bedroom condo cheap, thanks SF bay area and your rent is going up to 2400 in June. There is no rent control in our area. The letter has no area to sign and return.The tricky thing is, my other roommate has been paying his bills with unemployment income recently while hes looking for a job. It would be hard to move without him being able to provide prospective landlords with proof of income.I am frugal minded with a pretty good income and ok savings, so this wouldnt be crazy to manage, but I really dont want to take this lying down. Any better ideas?Assistant: Read the terms of your lease. If this is allowable, then find a new place to live.Your roommates unemployment is not your landlords concern.Human: I agree that it is not her problem, but any new rental application Ive done has asked for paystubs and that would probably disqualify us.  <response>: Yep, and for good reason.
