Month-to-Month Agreements: If the landlord wants to change the provisions of a month-to-month rental agreement, such as raising the rent or changing rules, the tenant must be given at least 30 days notice in writing.

Condominiums: If the landlord wishes to convert the unit to a condominium the tenant must be given a 90-day notice.

Leases: Under a lease, in most cases, changes cannot be made unless both landlord and tenant agree to the proposed change.

Please Note: The Landlord-Tenant Act does not limit how much rent can be raised, or how often. However, the landlord cannot raise the rent to retaliate against a tenant.
