Landlord Question and Answer Forum
We have recently taken over a couple of Mobil Homes. Three months ago we raised the rent we are finding ourselves having to raise the rent again. The properties we are renting are just to low compared to surrounding properties. My question is as follows, Is it legal to raise the rent in a short amount of time as 90 Days. the properties are located in Bakersfield, CA. We would appreciate any feedback.

RE: Raising the Rent
IF your tenant is on a fixed term lease, then you will have to wait until it expires. If your tenant is on a periodic lease, then you will need to follow the guildelines according to how the rent is paid or what the lease says. Therefore, if the rent is paid monthly and there is no written lease, then you must give at least a 30 day notice. Make sure that you are not in an area that practices rent control. There are several, I believe in California.
