Property Manager Rented My Property W/o Me Reviewing the Lease
The lease for 2015 was for three tenants. The tenants wanted to renew for 2016, though needed to find a new roommate since one of them was moving out. When I finally got the lease; it had been signed. The lease covered four tenants -- I had no previous knowledge; the rent and deposits stayed the same.
I asked my property manager what happened. He said that he thought that I had given him the authority to handle the renewal, and that three tenants or four tenants are of the same effect.
Suggestions on what I may do here? I am far away from where the property is, and won't be able to get back to the area until summer next year. Specific questions:
1. Can I still ask for a rental/deposit increase while the lease had been signed?
2. Can I ask the property manager to cover the increases?
3. Should I bring this to the attention of the property manager's supervisor? The company has certain good reputation in the area.
Thank you for your help. Am a novice in the rental business. Best wishes.
