FAQ

There are no state laws limiting the amount of a rent increase. If you are renting by the month, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement by giving you a written termination notice at least 28 days before the next rent due date.

Tenants must be given a 60 day rent increase notice period before the rent goes up. You also need to tell them exactly which date it will increase! Rental prices cannot go up within the first 6 months (180 days) of starting a tenancy.

Your landlord can't increase your rent during your fixed term unless you agree or your agreement allows it. If your agreement says your rent can be increased it has to say when and how it will be done. This is known as having a 'rent review clause'.

In most states, a landlord must give tenants notice at least 30 days before they'll enforce a rent increase. However, in other states like California, the notice can increase to 60 days' notice if the increase is more than 10% of the current rent rate.

Landlords are prohibited from harassing or retaliating against tenants who exercise their legal rights. In Wisconsin, the landlord must not terminate, refuse to renew a lease, or fine a tenant for complaining to the landlord regarding the deposit, complaining to a government agency, or exercising a legal right.

If you think your landlord is violating the Fair Housing Act, you can get that landlord in trouble by filing a complaint at HUD.gov. Your remedy for breach of quiet enjoyment is to terminate the lease and move or sue in small claims court.

Essentially, this means your landlord can only raise rents if they're in line with the current market. The AST often has a section suggesting how much rents could increase by. The percentage is typically between 0.5 and 5%, with market rents expected to be somewhere in that bracket after a 12-month AST comes to an end.

The landlord can enter at reasonable times to inspect the premises, make repairs, or show the premises to prospective tenants. The landlord usually must give 12 hours notice before entry, unless immediate entry is necessary to preserve or protect the premises, such as in case of a fire or a burst water pipe.
