There are no state laws in Wisconsin limiting the amount of a rent increase. The law states that a landlord must give the tenant a 28 day notice before increasing the rent amount.

How much can a landlord raise the rent per year in Wisconsin?

There is no limit in any state.


Does my landlord have to give me a 30 or 60 day notice of rent increase greater than10 percent in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin does not have any laws specifying how much notice a landlord must give you in order to raise your rent. Your original lease should specify how much advance notice will be given. On a month to month lease, the landlord is required to give a minimum of 28 days notice, the same as beginning eviction proceedings. If your current lease is still valid, the landlord cannot legally change the rent until the lease ends.

How many times may a landlord raise rent if you have a year to year lease?

I would think 12 times, because the lease renews month to month, that is what month to month refers to. It doesn't mean how often renters pay, that is always every month. It is a 30 day lease. They can't raise rent without 30 days notification, so they could raise it every month until you punch a hole in the wall and then they could arrest you. Although that's true, there's also a reasonable rent increase statute within NJ. Therefore, legally, the landlord couldn't just keep raising your rent every month. However, you're better off seeking a landlord that will extend to you a six-month or a 12 month lease and put a clause in the lease for a maximum rent increase for a renewal. I don't think this is correct as most states have a guideline percentage that you may raise the rent per year. Many states may have guidelines by which the landlord may raise the rent, but many states don't. As mentioned the landlord must give notice of one rental period before the next rent is due (some landlords charge by the week, something I would be very leery about). So if your rent is due every month then the landlord must give notice of at least one month before the next rent is due. If you're going to rent, lease up: try not to get into a month-to-month situation if you can help it. It should be noted that any terms and conditions of a month-to-month "lease" is only enforceable to the extent that if you pay your rent you get to live there another month, unless you signed an agreement to other terms and conditions, barring unconscionability, that are written on the agreement.

How soon after moving in to a new apartment can the landlord raise your rent?

Immediately, if he wants. However, he has to give a full rental period notice. So, if the rent is due on the first of each month, and he wants to raise the rent for January, he has to give written notice to that effect by November 30. There is no limit on how much he can raise it.


What is the average rent increase in FL?

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.


Can a landlord give you a notice to move for talking to much?

Yes. In a month-to-month tenancy at will, either party can terminate the tenancy for a reason, or for no reason. In a lease, the landlord can terminate the tenancy for several reasons, including too much noise.

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.


If the landlord sends a certified letter stating the rent will go up starting next month is that legally binding and do i have to pay the increase?

It depends on if you have a lease. If you rent month-to-month, then he is complying with the law and you will have to pay the new rent. If you have an annual lease, that lease will specify whether he can raise it, and by now much. If it doesn't specify, he can raise it at the end of the lease date. Your town or state may have rent control laws, however. Call the town housing/building department and ask.
