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.

Most states limit the amount of a security deposit to one month's rent. If the parties agree to raise the rent, then the security deposit could go up by the same amount.
Can a landlord post a rent increase to a tenant who is in legal for eviction?
Landlord and tenant laws vary from state to state. Generally, if the lease has expired or one does not exist, a landlord may raise rent. If they are evicting the tenant for lack of rent payment or another violation of the lease, raising the rent at that time more than likely can be fought. A judge would consider that retaliation and would not award a landlord the excess to support a rate increase.
Can my landlord renew my one-year lease after only four months?
Your landlord can offer a lease renewal at any point in the lease term, however, he cannot force you to sign or raise your rent until the end of the contract.
How much can your landlord raise the rent all at once to a new tenant?
It depends on your lease. If you don't have a lease, the rent can be raised at any time by any amount. If you do have a lease, check the lease. If their are limits raising the rent in the lease, then you can bring that to your landlord's attention. If they raise your rate more than what's in the lease, then you can sue them in order to get them to comply with the lease. If there are no limits identified in the lease, then the rent can be raised at any time by any amount.
Can your landlord raise your rent if you're on workman'scompensation?
More than likely yes. It all depend on the contract / renter agreement you signed. If the contract reads that the landlord can raise the rent at any given time then yes.If the contract reads the landlord can raise rent at the end of a lease term (for example 6 months.) then also yes.Unless the agreement states the landlord cannot raise rent 1. during a lease period, or 2. at all then he can raise it regardless of your income situation.You may try and talk to your landlord and explain the situation and they might have some compassion for your situation.
Can a landlord change lease with out informing you?
No, you have to be notified IN WRITING of any lease changes 30 days (in most states) before changes are to take effect. A good landlord would ask his tenant to at least initial any lease changes. He cannot however raise your rent until your lease is up. When its up he can charge you whatever he wants. If he is a private landlord and not a gov program etc.

What is the right of a tenants when the landlord increases rental payment?
In a month-to-month tenancy at will, the landlord can raise the rent by giving notice that the current tenancy will be terminated at the end of the next month, and that, if the tenants want to stay after that, the rent will be more. Today is May 11. If the rent is due on the first of each month, and if landlord gives notice on or before May 31, then the tenants are obligated to leave at the end of June, or pay the new rent on July 1.
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.
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.
