Landlord Tenant Legal Questions and Answers

Landlord Tenant

Landlord-Tenant Issue

Washington

Asked on Jun 15, 2025

Version: Can a landlord legally raise the rent by 50% without providing any notice in advance?

Version: I recently received a notice from my landlord stating that my monthly rent will be increased by 50% starting next month, with no prior notice given. I have been living in this apartment for several years and have always paid my rent on time. I am wondering if this sudden and significant rent increase is legal, as I have not been provided with any explanation or justification for such a drastic change.

Merry K.

Answered Jun 20, 2025

In Washington State, for a month to month tenancy, a landlord must now provide two months advance notice in advance, in writing. More advance notice may need to be given if you have a lease or if you live in certain cities or counties that have additional protections for tenants. Here is an excellent, vetted source for legal information - if you scroll down this page, you will find all kinds of reliable information about renters' rights: https://www.washingtonlawhelp.org/topics/housing/renters If you end up writing a letter to the landlord on your own, I recommend (1) remaining polite and professional; (2) Don't try to "sound like an attorney,"; and (3) mail your letter through a post office with one letter going out by regular mail and one by certified mail, return receipt requested. If the landlord doesn't see the error of his or her ways, you may need an attorney to help you. There are attorneys who specialize in landlord/tenant law, a form of real estate law. If you are low income, contact legal services or a pro bono (free) attorneys organization for free or low cost hlep. Please be aware that landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants when the tenants are simply exercising their rights. Good luck to you.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

New York

Asked on Dec 3, 2024

Can a landlord increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement?

I am currently renting an apartment and have a signed rental agreement with my landlord for a fixed term of one year, with a specified monthly rent. However, recently my landlord informed me that they intend to increase the rent starting next month. I was under the impression that the rent amount was fixed for the duration of the agreement, so I am seeking clarification on whether a landlord has the right to increase the rent during the term of a rental agreement.

Damien B.

Answered Dec 4, 2024

Hello! My name is Damien Bosco, Esq. My law office is in Long Island City, across from Manhattan. Generally, you are correct. For an annual lease with a fixed monthly rate, a landlord cannot increase the monthly rent during the pendency of the lease. Sometimes, the lease may allow for such an increase, but only if there is a provision in the lease that allows for it. If your lease does not include a rent adjustment clause and you believe the landlord is acting improperly, you are within your rights to challenge the increase. Feel free to reach out with any more questions about this.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Oct 6, 2023

How to draft a fair rental agreement?

I recently moved to a new city and am looking to rent an apartment. I am unfamiliar with the laws and regulations around rental agreements in this area, and I want to make sure that I create a fair and legally binding agreement with my potential landlord. I want to make sure that both my rights and those of my landlord are protected.

N'kia N.

Answered Oct 15, 2023

North Carolina General Statute 42 contains the North Carolina Residential Rental Act i.e. the landlord-tenant law. Generally, North Carolina landlord-tenant law requires that (1) a residential landlord keeps the property fit and habitable and (2) a residential tenant keeps the property safe and sanitary, pays the rental fee at the time and in the amount agreed upon, and follows (valid) agreed-upon rules. It also addresses other important issues like security deposit, late fee, required notice, termination, and eviction. One important aspect of the statute is that it does not allow a residential landlord to avoid or disclaim certain responsibilities simply by having a tenant agree in a rental agreement. Another important aspect of the statute is that it allows a residential tenant to recover money from a landlord who engages in certain particularly egregious conduct. It is important for a future residential tenant to know each party's rights and responsibilities before entering into a residential rental agreement. If you are considering signing a North Carolina residential lease, you are entitled to have an attorney review it and advise you before you sign.

Landlord Tenant

Rental Lease Agreement

Texas

Asked on Sep 11, 2024

Can a landlord change the terms of a rental lease agreement without the tenant's consent?

I recently signed a rental lease agreement for an apartment, which clearly outlined the terms and conditions of the tenancy. However, my landlord has informed me that they intend to make changes to the lease agreement, specifically regarding an increase in rent and modifications to the maintenance responsibilities. I am concerned about the legality of these changes and whether a landlord can unilaterally alter the terms of a rental lease agreement without obtaining the tenant's consent.

Lorraine C.

Answered Oct 18, 2024

As with most legal questions, the answer is "it depends." Without reviewing the original lease, I can't know if there is a reservation of rights for the landlord to increase rent or change maintenance responsibilities without amending the lease or obtaining additional consent. If you would like me to review the lease for you to provide a more solid answer, please feel free to contact me. Lorraine Coats, Esq.

Landlord Tenant

Lease Agreement

New York

Asked on Mar 21, 2023

Can the tenant use the property for storage?

As a business owner, I am looking to rent a commercial property to use for storage purposes. However, I am unsure if the property's lease agreement allows for such use or if there are any restrictions in place. Therefore, I am seeking legal advice on whether I can use the property for storage and if there are any legal implications I should be aware of.

Donya G.

Answered Mar 24, 2023

In order to advise you on the lease, you would have to have the lease reviewed so that the purposes for the lease can be established and discussed with you. I can help to review your lease and advise you on you can and cannot do based on the lease. You can connect with me via the website to engage my services Donya Gordon
