rent increases

Higher monthly payments

Rent increases are rises in the amount a tenant pays for housing.

Landlords may raise rent when leases renew, in response to market conditions, or to cover rising property costs.

Many jurisdictions regulate how much and how often rent can increase: The city capped annual rent increases at three percent.

Tenant advocacy often centers on limiting rent increases to prevent displacement.
