Need to raise the rent but want to handle it professionally? A rent increase letter gives your tenants proper written notice while keeping you in compliance with state and local laws. It documents the current rent amount, the new rate, when the increase takes effect, and the legal basis for the change. Whether you're adjusting for inflation, property improvements, or market rates, putting it in writing avoids disputes and shows you're following the rules. The template covers notice periods, effective dates, tenant rights, and lease amendment details. Create yours in minutes—free PDF and Word download, no account needed.
