📈 Can a landlord increase rent after 1 year?
It depends on your lease. 👀
Fixed-term lease (like 12 months)? They usually have to wait until it ends.
Month-to-month? Yep, rent hikes can roll in with proper notice. 📝
Rent control laws? Those can cap increases or slow them down. ⚖️
So it’s not always a straight “yes” or “no” - it’s more like “check your contract, then local law, then cry into your ramen.” 🍜💸Want to know how it really works (and what a proper increase notice looks like)? 👉 leaserunner.com/blog/rent-increase-letter 🏡
