Before you send: minimum notice periods vary by state (commonly 30–90 days, and often longer for larger increases), and some states and cities cap how much rent can rise per year under rent-control or rent-stabilization rules. Mailing usually adds days to the required notice. Check your state and local law for the notice period and any caps that apply to your property.
