Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on how much my rent can go up?
It depends on where you live. A few states and some cities cap annual increases for some buildings; many places have no cap. Your lease also controls increases during its term. Check your state and city rules.
How much notice does a landlord have to give?
Notice rules vary by state and sometimes by the size of the increase. Your lease may also set a notice period.
