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).

    play dumb and sign it anyway, then I pretend that the illegal parts don’t exist.

    This is not good to do in the US and could get you in more trouble than refusing to sign.

    Courts in the US take the plain text of what people sign pretty seriously

      That's good to know,and yet another reason to never set foot there. Hooray for Napoleonic law I guess.
