How it works
The new rent is the current rent times one plus the increase, written as a decimal. The rise each month is the new rent less the current rent, and the yearly rise is that times twelve.
The page uses the increase you type. Local rules may limit how much a landlord can raise rent, and a notice may need to be in writing, so check the rules where you live.
Worked example
Rent of $1,800.00 a month going up by 5% becomes $1,890.00, a rise of $90.00 a month, or $1,080.00 a year.
Questions
Is a percent increase the same as a fixed dollar amount?
No. The same percent on a larger rent is a bigger amount of money than on a smaller rent.
Can I use this for a decrease?
This page is for increases. For a decrease, subtract the new rent from the current rent yourself.
Where do I check local limits?
Local housing offices and tenant groups publish the rules where you live. Check those before you respond to a notice.
