Re: Rent Inreases
As long as the property is not subject to any rent-control restrictions, a landlord can generally, in a month-to-month arrangement, increase the rent (without limitation) by giving the appropriate notice to the tenant of the higher rent. Keep in mind, if you raise the rent too high, your tenant may walk out, refuse to pay it, or may request that you enter into a longer lease agreement. If you need assistance, you should speak with a local professional or feel free to call my office at (818) 992-6588 to discuss this further.
