The new landlord is requesting changes and a new deposit. What to do?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My landlord renewed the contract with me just a couple of weeks before expiry and collected a single cheque out of the 2 agreed upon. However, after 1 month, he sold the property without my knowledge. Now the new landlord is asking me to sign a contract with him as the previous one is not valid since he is the new landlord. Additionally, the new landlord is asking me to change the terms and conditions and pay a new security deposit as the original landlord has not returned it.
