mommy!
$600 increase! OMG!
Well - it really depends on where you live.....here in CA, if the rent increase exceeds 10% of the monthly rent, the LL has to (by law) give you a 60 day notice of the increase...thereby if you could not afford it you could then give a 60 day notice (before the rent increased).
if the rent increase is less than 10% of the monthly rent -then they are only required to give you a 30 day notice of the increase...thereby shortening your notice to move to 30 days only.
You will need to check you local and/or state laws on this...i would suggest going to the internet and type in the name of your state ...like this Florida Rental Laws
good luck :) |

What does your lease say? If your lease lists a specific amount, then that is what you pay for the length of the lease. Its a contract. However, if the lease is up then I think you have 30 days from being notified.
And IMO $600 is a steep hike. They may have hiked it just to get you to leave too... |

30 days, but is it legal for for landlord to raise your rent by 600.00? what does your lease say? Maybe you do not have one.

30 days. I don't think you will be in any trouble, he's breaking the lease because you agreed to a price when you moved in. (Better check your lease agreement, and landlord tenant laws) |

30 days- $600 more than what you are already paying? I think may they want you to move out. |

First of all $600 dollars is an inordinate amount of raise in rent! Second if there was a lease or even an oral agreement between you and landlord, you must contact attorney immediatedly. While they don't give you free advice or solve problem over the phone, they or their secretaries, assistants, etc., will gladly answer some questions. And especially will let you know if in your state there is legal recourse for this.
Regarding your first question: He needs to give you no less than 30 days. |

Landlord

If you have been there less then two years you have to be given 30 days. And yes, rent would still be due, you do not get 30 days out of his pocket.
If you have been there over 2 years you have to be given a 60 day notice. And, again, rent would still be due. |

normally 30 days notice will suffice, why not negotiate with your landlord to lower the rent? give him reasons why it should be lowered, do u pay on time, do u keep the property neat and upkept. if ur a good tenant he will consider negotiating if ur abad tenants he prolly just wants u out. |

30 days and YES you have to keep paying your rent, especially is you want your security deposit back, but if you break your contract you won't get your deposit back. |

WHAT?????
I'm in the UK and in my present contract I can give my landlord one months notice, but he has to give me two.
$600 sounds like one hell of an increase.
In one go, either you have been paying a very good price for your rent for a number of years, or he wants you out, or he is being extortionate.
Unaware of your situation, but you must have an organisation over there that you can appeal to.
P.S. I've noticed a lot of good answers, but someone / some people seem to be giving the thumbs down. Ignore that. |

either 30 or 60 days notice depending on your lease and yes yoiu have to pay rent while you stay there or you are "squatting" which is illegal.
If youi paid first and last months rent when you moved in you do not have to pay the final months rent when you stay so if you plan on moving at end of november you would not have to pay for the month of november.
Hope this helps and good luck.
P.S your landlord is a goof $600 increase is ridiculous my rent goes up like $30 a year or something and I am upset about that. |

Read your contract that you signed with your landlord.
Most of the time it's 30 days, but if you signed a contract that states otherwise then you have to obied by the contractual agreement. |

this varies by state. check your state website under laws/statutes. you should be able to find the exact law there. |

Depends on the rental agreement you signed and laws of your state.
Usually it's 30 days. Yes, you have to pay your rent up to the day you move out. |

you have 30 days to get out...if you signed a lease he cant raise it until your lease is completed..so i wouldnt pay the rent as long as you were out in 30 days. |

In most area sit is 30 days, but in some I know it is 60. Check with your state/province tenancy laws.
Also - in many places it is ILLEGAL for a landlord to raise your rent more than a certain percentage, and only once a year - check that too!!! |
|
^patty^
|

It is 30 days. However if you take it to a magistrate they can give you 90 days depending on the situation. |
|
Thats not right!
 |
yes, 30 days unless you do not have a lease, then he can boot you the next day. there is a law that he can not raise the rent more than 10% at a time though, check into it at your local housing authority. |

30 days notice, after a eviction judgemnt has been filed, 45 days after that for the police to come and remove you from the place. |
