Re: How much time
In order to modify a month-to-month lease, including raising rent, the landlord must provide 30-days notice. However, there may be an applicable rent control law that places further limitations. If this is a mobilehome on a rented space, there are different rules that apply that I am not well versed in.
If you are not on a month-to-month agreement, read your lease to see what it says about rental increases.
