Planning a renewal? Enter the current rent and an increase — by percentage or flat dollar amount — to see the new rent, the monthly difference, and what it adds up to over a year.
Rent increases are regulated differently everywhere. Some states and cities have rent control or rent stabilization that caps how much (and how often) you can raise rent. Most places also require advance written notice — commonly 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the increase size and your location.
You generally cannot raise rent mid-term on a fixed-lease unless the lease allows it, and increases can never be retaliatory or discriminatory under fair housing law.
This calculator only does the math. Check your state and local law and your signed lease for the maximum allowed increase and the required notice period before sending anything.
