Weird Lease Renewal Letter

The way that Thrive Communities words things is weird (and kind of shady?)

A couple months ago I got our lease renewal letter that said our rent would be going up ~23 a month for a 1 year lease.

Then recently I got this letter, where it says it won’t be increasing at all, and they’re trying to attribute it to the new rent increase law (which this doesn’t even apply to, because it was a very small increase).

On top of that they’re saying to “sign within 14 days of this notice” to lock in this “new rate” where our rent goes up. Our lease is up in less than 90 days, and I know Seattle has a law where any rent increases require a 180-day notice, right? So it doesn’t matter if we sign in 14 days, or before our lease is up – they can’t increase it again.

Weird sales pressure tactic and not transparent if you ask me.
