<prompt> Human: We live in Tampa, FL as an FYI. Yesterday my roommate received a text from our landlord asking if we planned to rent our house for another year. He also said that our rent was increasing 200 a month because of tax increases and insurance increases. Split between four people, this isnt a huge deal but paying an extra 600 a year individual will have a toll on our college budgets.We have been great tenants since we moved in last May so we see no reason why he would try to scam us. But he has already shown signs of not showing great concern with our house. Back in August we discovered that the house had a major leak in the roof and our landlord did not have anyone fix it until mid-late October. So I just want to know if this seems suspicious for the 200 a month increase in our rent, or if we should at least ask some questions?  <response>: Landlords can raise rent with proper notice. You can certainly ask whatever questions you want to.
