QUESTION
My landlord is trying to charge us $250/day for being holdover tenants even if the rent is never late, is this legal?

More details to this question:
Our landlord gave us a 2 month notice to move out (completely legal on her part). After the notice the "manager" gave us a price to purchase the home instead of moving out. After considering buying, we declined. By that time, the place we found to move into was not available until the 8th. So we let the owner know our situation. We paid the owner the prorated rent though the 15 of the month but the owner hasn't cashed that check and is demanding $2000. Is this 500% increase legal?

It depends on your lease. The landlord is allowed to charge the increase if the lease called for it. If the lease is silent, the landlord would have to give you notice before any increase.
