Rent Increase Notice
A landlord’s notice of rent increase must be in writing. The landlord can deliver a copy of the notice to you personally.114 In this case, the rent increase takes effect in 30 or 60 days, as just explained.
The landlord also can give you a notice of rent increase by first class mail. In this case, the landlord must mail a copy of the notice to you, with proper postage, addressed to you at the rental unit. The landlord must give you an additional five days’ advance notice of the rent increase if the landlord mails the notice. Therefore, the landlord would have to give you at least 35 days’ notice from the date of mailing if the rent increase is 10 percent or less. If the rent increase is more than 10 percent, the landlord would have to give you at least 65 days’ notice from the date of mailing.115
