During the pandemic, many people had to give up their homes and move in with family, however now that restrictions are being lifted and the economy is bouncing back, people are looking for their own homes again which leads to a large increase in renting and the demand for rental properties.

Rent Increases: There is no legal limit to the amount of rent a landlord can charge. However, in order for the rent increase to be valid, the landlord must provide the tenant proper notice of the raise in rent and the tenant must agree to it (signs the lease with the new monthly rent).

Changes to your rent This year, the rules say rents can be increased by last September's Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus an extra 1%. The CPI is a common measure of inflation and in September 2021 was 3.1%. This means that most rents will increase by 4.1% from April 2022.

Arizona does not have a rent control policy, but landlords are limited to when they can raise the rent and how much notice they need to provide. Arizona landlords are not allowed to raise the rent during a lease term, but they can raise it as much as they would like once the lease is up for renewal.

According to AB-1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, the maximum that landlords can raise rents in California is 5% per year, plus the percentage change in the cost of living according to the consumer price index, or 10% of the lowest rent increase at any time during the 12 months (whichever is less).

How much can a landlord raise rent in California in 2022? As explained by real estate agent Jeff Johnson of Simple Homebuyers, ?In 2022, landlords are allowed to raise rents on existing tenants between 3% and 8% annually. The fluctuation depends on whether the rental property is in the city or suburbs.

Because rent control is illegal in Washington State (RCW 35.21. 830) landlords can raise the rent as much as they want as long as they comply with the appropriate notice period and have not issued the notice to discriminate or retaliate against the tenant.
