Notice Of Rent Increase: Fill & Download for Free

I cannot give a different answer from the others. If your lease allows for a rent increase, than the landlord can increase the rent. The lease itself would act as notice.If your lease does not allow for a rent increase, than the landlord cannot increase the rent.Read your lease.

I would like to increase the rent of one of my rental units. How should the conversation go with the tenant?Dear Tenant,Enclosed is your annual lease renewal. Please review it carefully and sign where indicated if you would like to continue your tenancy at <<insert address>>.As you can see, the monthly rent is increasing by <<insert amount>>. This will be effective on <<insert date of first day of month of new lease term>>. If you pay via auto-pay, please be sure you adjust this amount in time for the <<insert month>> payment.It has been a pleasure having you as a tenant, and we hope to enjoy many more years of our relationship.Sincerely,Your landlordUnless the existing lease allows increases during the lease term, you cannot raise the rent until the lease expires.You MUST give the tenant a minimum of 30 days notice (more, in some states) before the end of the existing lease term if you intend to renew the lease with any changes in terms, or not renew the lease.If your lease was professionally written, it probably includes an automatic rollover into month-to-month status if you don’t provide a written lease renewal. In that case, you can give the tenant 30 days notice of a rent increase, once the lease expires.

The Ellis Act allows a landlord the unconditional right to “go out of business”, and in the process, evict tenants.The only “magic” thing about it is that the landlord then has to stay “out of business”. All units in the building must be removed from the rental market, so whoever is in the other unit in your duplex would also have to be evicted, if they are also renting.Senior and disabled persons must receive a one year notice of an Ellis eviction.In the event the building is demolished, and new apartments constructed, Los Angeles applies rental restrictions for a period of five years — giving the person who was renting “right of first return”, at the same rate they were paying, plus any rent increases allowed under rent control, up to five years following the eviction.Most Ellis evictions are for a change of use in the property.Assuming they follow the rules, particularly with regard to notice dates, it’s not difficult to evict someone like your question asks about, within about a year plus 120 days from date of first notice.
