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 because you got married and you are expecting a baby?
A landlord cannot raise your rent after you get married unless your lease is up for renewal or must be restructured to add a mate to the lease. If this happens outside of these parameters, it is considered discrimination.
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.

Raising rent just cause landlord lost job?
If you have a lease and it states a specific amount, then the landlord is bound by that amount for the duration of the lease agreement. However, after that lease is completed, he can raise the rent. And if it is a month to month tenancy, he can give a thirty day notice of intent to raise the rent. If you dont want to pay it, you simply find another place to rent or pay the proposed increase in the rent where you were currently residing. But yes, he can raise the rent under the above mentioned circumstances, for whatever reason he has. Then, you either accept this increase or reject and move out.
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.
