And you think the landlord can suddenly charge you more rent than is in the contract? Who's the "brainless jerk"?

What, are you suddenly eight years old? Have you never rented a house, an apartment, a car, or a piece of equipment? Or were you too stupid to read your lease before you signed it?

Leases specify that all taxes are added on top of the rent payment. So grow up and pay up.

I will have to dig out one of my old leases from when I was renting if I have one laying around.

I remember my lease telling me my rent was $1,040 a month and every month I sent a check for $1,040. Did my landlord just out of the goodness of his heart forget to collect the taxes on top of the rent payment?

Under HR25, rentals established prior to implementation date of the NRST, are treated as transitional inventory (or business use conversion credit depending on circumstance) and are credited for the amount the NRST would otherwise be on previously established rents.

I (as landlord) have never done a lease adding my personal income taxes to rent paid by tenant. Nor have I ever done one adding my self-employment (FICA) taxes to the rent. I simply increase the rent by enough to (hopefully) pay for maintenance, and other costs, like my TAXES.

Nor did I ever sign a lease as tenant that included the personal income taxes or payroll taxes of the landlord.

Your statement is false.

I rented apartments for over twenty years and NEVER had one lease which had an open ended payment contingent upon taxes being added. Of course, sales taxes were irrelevant to the rent calculation but if property taxes went up doing the lease period the property owner ate the increase.
