Landlords are going to have some restrictions on them when it comes to rent increases. There can be some limitations on how much the landlord is allowed to increase the rent and even how often. For example, if you are in the middle of a lease with them, then the landlord is not allowed to increase the rent until that lease is done, no matter what is going on around you in the market at the time.
Even if you are on a month to month lease, the landlord is going to need to give you a 30 to 60-day notice before they increase the rent. Otherwise, you can refuse to follow it. Outside of that, the landlord can often increase the rent as much as they would like. They will often limit this though because it can get annoying and if they increase it too much and too often, then the tenant is likely to move.
There are also a few other limitations on the landlord when it is time to increase rent. Landlords are not allowed to give you an increase on your rent if:
# You are in the middle of your lease agreement at that time.
# Your lease states that the landlord is not allowed to increase the rent on you.
# The tenant was not given an advanced notice on their rent increase based on the current law.
# The property is considered rent controlled.
# The increase in the rent is going to be done only in retaliation against something that you have done in the apartment that is not illegal. This is true, even if there are other factors, like the end of a lease, that would otherwise make the rental increase fine.
# The increase is considered as a form of discrimination against the tenant according to the Fair Housing Act.
# The landlord is making the rent go up a lot so that they can force you to move out of the apartment.
