Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

Once your original yearly lease has run out, it can be converted to a month-to-month lease with the same terms and conditions as the original year. Your original lease has now been converted to an oral agreement-- the rent will be paid on a monthly basis and the lease will continue without a final date until the landlord or the tenant ends it. It is important to be aware that once a lease has converted to a month-to-month lease, a landlord has the right to raise the rent. The landlord is not required to give a certain amount of notice to the tenant of an expected rental increase unless that notice was agreed upon when the lease was signed.
