Arcy ☼ | As a landlord........... how much can I raise the rent???? |
I thank you all for your answers, please note that I am in South California Charging in a house for only $1,000.00 dollars per month.
I would like to raise it to $1,500.00
the area that the house is located is very good, and for what my friends told me a thousand is very cheap and that I should raise it for $500.00 more this is a house.
house is 3 bed room, 1 bath, no garage. but with a huge yard. |

50% increase sounds steep. $1,500 probably means these current renters vacate. You need to raise rent more reasonably, i.e., a "nuisance" increase, not enough to force tenents to move but enough for your increased expenses. Perhaps $200 or $250? |

This will depend upon what city, whether that city has any rent control laws, whether your house is subject to any such rent control laws, whether you have a lease with your tenants, and what the terms of the lease are. |

You can't raise the rent in the middle of a lease - you have to wait until the end of the lease and then give at least 30 days notice of the increase.
As of January 1, 2001, a landlord must give the tenant at least 30 days’ advance notice if the rent increase is 10 percent (or less) of the rent charged at any time during the 12 months before the rent increase takes effect. A landlord must give 60 days’ advance notice if the rent increase is greater than 10 percent. (Civil Code Section 827b.)
Buildings under rent control in cities such as City of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, fall under different rules. For example, in Los Angeles, owners of buildings that fall under rent control can only raise the rent 5% per year. Landlords can raise the rent one additional percent (1%) for gas and/or one percent (1%) for electricity when the landlord pays all the costs of either of these services for the tenant.
check with your city to see if you have any restrictions. |

If you currently have tenants, then raising the rent by that much will most likely put you in court, either civil or criminal, depending on the laws in your area. If you have tenants, then raise the rent by maybe 5% yearly. If you have no tenants, raise it however much you want. |

You may try to raise the price. Try for a couple of weeks, and then see if you can get response or not.
Then lower the rent if you need to.
Hope this will help. |

most cities in So Ca are not rent controlled, but some are such as Santa Monica. If you are not in a rent controlled city you can raise it as much as you want, although you will need to give 2 months notice to raise it that much. I dont know where you are, but even 1,500 sounds cheap for a large house like that! Be prepared to lose your tenant....you might want to weigh the costs involved in losing a tenant vs. a rent increase of that amount. |

as much as you want, single family homes are generally exempt from rent control |

oh yes MR. LANDLORD.. let me bow down to your majesty... you can charge whatever you want for your roach infested dump.
Why not 2000... or maybe 3000.
either way, you are the LORD of the land and everybody must bow down and go along with your greedy demands. |
