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.

Tenants right if lease has expired and landlord wants to raise the rent?
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.

What percent can a landlord raise rent in ct?
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.
