Full Question:

My wife and I rent an apt. Three months ago our former landlord sold the house we live in. Our rent was $275.00 per month. We never had a lease with the prior owners. The new landlord never asked for a lease agreement. In October this year, the new landlord told us that the rent was to be increased from $275.00 to $350.00 per month. Can she increase the rent by that much of a percentage? If not, what is the percentage?
