carolyn_fw | If you are renting can the rent be increased 9 days before its due with no other notice? |
I am renting a mobile home and was informed yesterday that my rent will be increased from 485 to 800 effective 10/1/06. Shouldn't a person be given notice, especially when you are informed about the increase 9 days before the rent is due? |

Nine days notice, even if you didn't have a lease, seems like very short notice to me.
What state do you live in?
Most states have laws that do a good job protecting the rights of renters, and most laws spell out the conditions, including notice requirements, for rent increases.
Do a seach on your state and "rental law" or something similiar, and you should find the info you need.
===
Addendum:
In Texas, in order to change the conditions of a lease, mid lease or at the end of lease, 30 days notice is required.
http://www.texastenant.org/rights/lease/lease.html
The landlord is entitled to raise rent to any level he wants to when he makes a change.
http://www.texastenant.org/rights/rent/rent.html
But he has to provide "proper notice", and 9 days isn't it.

It seems to me they have to at least give you a 30 day notice of any rent increase......but if you have a rental agreement you should read it and see what it says. That is also a VERY large increase in rent, it seems like they are trying to get you out, there should be some kind of guidelines in your area as to how much of an increase is allowed, you might want to follow up on that. |

if you have a lease they cant raise the rent....im not sure but i think they have to give you a 30 day notice. that is a huge rent increase! is it worth staying there? |

While rental laws do vary by state, a signed contract indicating a rental price is binding for the duration of the rental period, unless both parties agree to an increase in rent and the time it will take place.
Without a contract, again depending on state, there should be a notification timeline requirement.
You should be able to get a booklet your local Better Business Bureau that outlines your rights as a renter as well as the rights of the landlord.
If none of that helps, contact a your local shelter or Salvation Army. A lot of times, they can provide you with legal advice or resources.
The link below has rental laws for several states, but it is in legalise. Also, search the web for "rental laws" and your state.
Lastly, you cannot be evicted without written notification.
Hope this helps. |

If you have a rental contract they cannot do it unless it specifies the rent can be raised without notice. If you have a contract that states that the rent will be 485 bucks a month for as long as you live there or as long as the contract is for then they can't raise it even if they give you notice. If you don't have a contract you are screwed. |

you are dealing with someone who does not know the laws, they have to give you 30 days notice for a rent increase........they are trying to get away with it, hoping you do not know your rights or they are trying to get you to give notice and move out... i believe they are raising it too high...check with local renter rights agencies to find out more information..... |

I sure don`t think so.
Take it to small claims court. |

If you are covered under a lease agreement, they cannot raise the rent under the period that the lease is in effect for. If you are month to month or something along those lines, they can raise the rent anytime they want. Best make sure that your wheels are inflated to make the drive to another trailer park. |

If you are under a lease, they cannot raise the rent. If your lease is due for a renewal, they have to notify you within 30 days of a rental increase. I find it hard to believe that they are nearly doubling your rent, and even more so that you are considering staying there if the rent is being increased so dramatically. |

Depends on where its at. Different countys have different rules. |

Look at your lease and see if there's anything in there about notice for rent increases...that does seem a dirty thing to do, but may not be illegal. |

30 day notice is required in most states
Also most cities have an ordanace about how much an increase can be. It would be pretty tough to explan a 75% increase in rental space.......... |

Read your lease. Typically there is a clause in it regarding the raising of rent. Most often they will say that the rent is NOT fixed beyond the lease period, but that you must be granted a certain number of days' notice. For instance, a month-to-month lease or a year lease that has converted to a month-to-month. In those cases, you likely are granted a 30-day window.
In short, not likely. |

it depends on your lease you need to read it and see what it says about rent increases!!! |

It should state in your rental or lease agreement if you have to be given notice. What is right is not always what is legal. |
