In most states for sueing a landlord and vice versa its 4 yrs. So I am going to say no they can not sue you for breaking a lease 12 yrs ago. Not unless in someway they can prove that they tried tracking you down continuesly for the last 12 yrs. Then they might be able to under special circumstances.

Can your landlord change the amount of the rent after a year just by telling you on the phone what he wants when you signed an agreement a year ago?

It depends on the term of your lease. If you had signed a one year lease, an additional year may be offered at a higher monthly rate. If you had signed a longer term lease, the landlord cannot increase the rent during the course of the lease unless specifically permitted in the lease.

The Importance of a Well Written Lease Agreement?

Leases are utilized by many different industries, but they are most commonly found within the apartment industry. A standard lease agreement will provide legal stipulations for exactly what a tenant and the landlord are responsible for. Breaking any of the lease terms, regardless of who does so, can result in both legal action and the dissolution of the lease agreement. Although the legalities of what can and what can't be put into a lease agreement do vary from state to state, there are certain aspects of every lease that will remain the same. The basics include the length of the lease term, the rental rate that must be paid and when it is due, which utilities the landlord is responsible for, what repairs the landlord is responsible for and the amount of the security deposit that the tenant is required to provide. Although lease contracts were still relatively simple even just a decade ago, a wide number of additional provisions have been added into most lease agreements during the last ten years. It is now common practice for landlords to include clauses ranging from the tenant's responsibility regarding matters such as the occurrence of mold and mildew all the way to drug free housing clauses that enable a landlord to evict a tenant who is arrested for drug charges. The lease agreement must contain legal language that describes what will happen when the resident moves out. This is due to the security deposit act which states that the tenants must be notified if damages are going to be retained from their deposit. The exact specifications of how notification must be given will vary depending on the state that the lease was written for, but it is still imperative for the information to be included. Some landlords offer their tenants the opportunity to go month to month after their first lease is concluded; while many tenants enjoy the flexibility of this, they're also denying themselves the right to be covered by several important clauses of the lease. For example, without a legal lease the tenant's rent can be increased at any time with proper notification; in most places this requires only a 30-day written notice. If any of the lease guidelines are not met, either the landlord or the tenant may take legal action. A judge will first verify the accuracy of the lease language so it is imperative for a landlord to make sure that they are using a lease that follows all of their local state and city laws.

Why appartments in New York would have dramatically different monthly rents?

Apart from the general reasons (location, location location) NY imposed rent control on apartments years ago and it remains in effect today. As long as the same tenant is on the lease, the rent can't go up. But the tenant on the lease has a loophole and can sublet the place for a lot more and the landlord loses out. People basically have to die for the rent to change in certain situations.
