My manager notified me at the end of May via an informal email that the owner wants me to sign another 12-month lease starting July 1st and increase rent by 16%, to see if I would agree.

Two days ago, I sent a fax reminding that a package is waiting for him and I looked at the documents again. I apologize for my lengthy post and will be very helpful for any advice Well your renewal offer must be sent between 90 and 150 days prior to the end of your current lease. If the LL is late in sending the offer (no matter what he writes on the form), you still have 60 days. Also, your new dates should not start (your option) until the new 60-day period has expired.

Luckily, I kept the envelope which helped me in this nonsense - psychologically at least.

So if your new lease starts April 1, the timing is appropriate. Normally tenants should not cross out what the LL wrote even if the date was wrong, but send it back to the LL asking for a correct form and noting that your 60 days do not start until you do get the correct form. Thanx"Now, I am thinking ...- I am reluctant to open the envelope.
