I know what he's doing is illegal, but I don't know how to confront him about it. I really hate confrontation and I'm not good at this sort of thing. I can't afford a 13% increase, which is triple the annual limit where I live. How do I respond to him? (Serious answers please, no Mao larping.)
Can he kick me out if I don't sign a new lease? I really don't want to be forced out. I'm looking for a new pace now but it's almost impossible to find one that fits my needs in this area (also moving without a car is expensive and time consuming).
You should probably show them it's above the legal limit and ask for another lease. They either don't know the law or assume you don't know your rights.
Or go through the law if you can
That's what I'm planning on doing but I'm just worried about retaliation. Are they allowed to kick me out if I don't sign the lease they've offered? I honestly don't know how that works.

It's all over email so I think I'm good as far as documentation.
I honestly don't know either, it probably depends on where you live. But if you have documentation of your contact with them such as via email, you would have a solid case against them if they don't renegotiate the lease
I am not a lawyer though
