Renting & landlording
What's the process for raising rent?
The short answer
You can generally adjust rent at lease renewal with proper written notice — commonly 30–60 days, longer in some states and capped in rent-controlled jurisdictions. Mid-lease increases aren't allowed unless the lease specifically provides for them.
