In the state of California, your landlord is required to give to "timely" notice of raising the rent. If the increase is 10% or less than what you are currently paying, your landlord is required to provide at least 30 days notice, and if the increase is more than 10%, a 60 day notice is required.
With the rise of foreclosures, renting property is at an all time high, and common consumers are becoming victims. Be smart and know your rights... and trust me, in California you have SO many.

It depends on where you live.
If you are not in a rent control area, they are (essentially) free to increase it as they wish.
Find out if your city has rent control and, if so, what the limits and conditions are.
Rent control laws are different for each municipality in California. Mobile homes are more likely to have rent control than other housing.
How much and how often can a landlord raise the rent?
Under Florida law, a landlord is permitted to raise your rent as long as its stated in your lease. This law does not specify how much the landlord can raise the rent, only that he is permitted to if your lease says he can.
If your friends landlord lowered the rent for him/her and then after moving in with him/her, he/she decides to move out, then the landlord will most likely raise the rent again.
A landlord can raise his price up too whatever. It's all depending on the size of the home?
There is no limit in any state.
yes your landlord can.
The landlord may not raise the rent during the lease but after it expires, that's different. Many areas have rent control so check for that first. If there is, then the increase should be within that limit or else you can appeal to the Rent Control Board. If there is no rent control, then the landlord may be free to raise it as much as he wants. If he's asking more than it's worth, move.
In the US, in every state I know of, there is no limit.
I'm not sure about Connecticut law, but I don't know of a state that has a limit on how much the rent can be raised. The landlord has to give proper notice - which would be one full rental period - so the tenant has time to leave if they don't want to pay the new rent. But, once they've done that, they can raise the rent as much as they want.

Your landlord can do what he wants when your lease runs out.
Unless your State or locality is rent-controlled, your landlord basically doesn't have to have any specific reason in order to raise the rent. This is a business just like any other.
