Laws
Minimum Termination Period: 30 days if the tenant has lived there for less than a year.[1] If the tenant has lived on the property for one year or more, the landlord must provide 60 days’ notice and cite “just cause” if the tenancy is not exempt from the Tenant Protection Act (see exemptions).[2]
Increasing Rent: Over a 12-month period, the landlord cannot increase rent by more than 10% total or 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, whichever is lower.[3]
Oral Agreements: Oral agreements are presumed to be month-to-month (“hiring of real property”) unless otherwise stated in writing.[4]
