How it works
Before you send it
How much notice a landlord must give before raising rent depends on the state, sometimes on the lease type and the size of the increase, and in some cities on local rent rules. Pick your state to see what our data says, and check any city or county rent control rules too.
General information, not legal advice. We are not lawyers. Read your state's rule (linked from our data page) or ask a lawyer before you rely on a deadline.
FAQ

How much notice do I have to give?
It depends on the state, the lease and sometimes the city. The box under the notice shows what our data says for your state. Check local rent rules too. General information, not legal advice.
Can I raise rent during a fixed-term lease?
Usually only if the lease allows it. Read the lease first.
How do I make a PDF?
Click Print or save as PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print dialog. Only the notice prints.
Is anything I type saved?
No. The notice is made in your browser and nothing is sent to us.
