Under ¶ 4 of the Lease, “[t]he Landlord agrees to give the Tenant at least 30 days
advance written notice of any increase in the Tenant’s rent except as noted in paragraphs 11, 15
or 17.” The initial question for analysis is whether one of these exceptions applies. It is the
Plaintiff’s burden to prove underpayment of rent, and in this case that means proving that an
exception in the Lease applies. That is especially so in this case because this is a standard form
lease that Plaintiff has chosen and presented to tenants without the opportunity for negotiation.
