changing terms of lease agreement
*SOLVED
5
I am curently a tenant at camlyn gardens i have been leaving there from april 2009, nw as per lease agreement my rent then was R2900PM wth a certain percentage increase yearly and water fee included in the rent amount .2010 my rent increased to R3045PM without any problems, 2010 there started been told that we must save water as the bill is very high fine then life continues.2011 February we get a notice saying we must start paying for water as the Body Corporate cannnot afford the bill whIch they had to pay R300 000.Then i get a new contract renewal where nothing is amended from the origional contract but the rental amount increasing to R3300PM.Then that is the amount i pay every month from 1 april 2011, come may 2011 i am told i owe + or - R1000 as i have not been paying an amount of R289 for water every month and my unit will be closed, but now how can i pay for something i did not sign for, terms of the contract can not be changed without the other parties consent, I see that as a rip off as i am a tenant not an owner, fees like that i paid by owners only, on top of that we are not even invoiced for the amounts required from us .
