In 2009, it was legal to raise the rent. In 2010, who knows. Now that it's 2011, who still cares? You know Mr. Frisone there are more current questions that might even appreciate your three word answers. Give it a try sometime.

EZ Landlord Forms has article summaries of each state's landlord-tenant laws, if you want to check out your state's laws. Here's a link to their landlord articles, and make sure you select your state so that it shows you appropriate forms and articles.
Cheers, and best of luck with your lease!

Is this a new lease for new tenants for 2010?
Is this for a current tenant with a current lease through 2010?
Or is the tenant on a a month-to-month lease?
If it's for a current tenant....Review the terms of the lease. If it has expired, then the landlord can, with the appropriate notice (in many states, it's at least 30 days) raise the rent. But do note that there are also certain conditions, depending on the city and the state, that set the maximum the landlord can raise the rent of the current tenant.
You can go online to see landlord and tenant rights and obligations for specific states.
If it's a new lease....has it been properly executed? If it isn't ratified, then there may be a chance to change the terms of the lease and re-submit it.
Good luck!
