Rent Increase

 

If you are planning to issue your tenant a rent increase, consider the following:

 

  • Your tenant is not in a one-year lease.
  • Rent increases must be consistent with current market rates. 
  • You must provide at least three comparables within a one-mile radius of the unit.
  • Apartment complexes with more than four units must provide comparables within the same complex. 
  • Housing Authorities may present a counteroffer to the proposed rent increase.
  • Housing Authorities reserve the right to approve or deny the rent increase based on their own research.  
  • Ensure your Rent Increase notice complies with local/state laws (AB1482)

 

Once you have served your tenant with a Rent Increase notice, you will need to submit a copy to the Housing Authority.  Please submit a copy of the notice to:  [email protected]

Please keep in mind that due to the high volume of rent increase requests received by our agency, it can take 30-45 days to process the request.

If you are unsure of how to properly serve your tenant, or what you can and cannot do, you should seek legal counsel. For educational information, you can visit the following sites:
