How much advance notice do I have to give?

It's set by your state and sometimes your city — commonly 30 days, and often 60 or 90 days for larger increases or longer tenancies. The exact figure and how you count the days vary widely, and the increase doesn't take effect until proper notice has been given. Check your state's landlord-tenant statute or your local rent board before serving. AttachKit fills the notice; it doesn't pick the legal deadline for you.

Is there a limit on how much I can raise the rent?

In most places there's no cap on an ordinary market-rate increase, but rent-controlled or rent-stabilized units — common in cities like New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and statewide caps in states like California and Oregon — limit the maximum allowable increase. This notice doesn't override any such limit; confirm whether your property is regulated before setting the new rent.

How do I have to deliver the notice?

Many states specify allowed methods — personal delivery, posting and mailing, or certified mail — and improper delivery can push back or invalidate the increase. Follow your state's service rules and keep proof of how and when you served it.

Is this legal advice?

No. AttachKit is a private fill-and-sign tool, not a law firm. Rent-increase rules are local and unforgiving of paperwork errors; for a rent-controlled unit or anything contested, consult a landlord-tenant attorney or your local rent board.

Fill a rent increase notice online — free template

A rent increase notice is the written notice a landlord gives a tenant before raising the rent — stating the current rent, the new rent, and the date the higher amount takes effect. It's how you keep the increase clean and on the record, but the details matter: most states (and many cities) set a required advance-notice period before an increase can take effect, and rent-controlled or rent-stabilized units cap how much you can raise the rent at all. AttachKit fills the recurring landlord and property fields from your saved profile so each notice you serve is accurate and consistent, then lets you sign and print or save a PDF in the same flow.

Your PDF never leaves your browser — open DevTools → Network and watch: the file is never uploaded.

Who needs it: Landlords and property managers raising the rent on a lease renewal or a month-to-month tenancy who need a clear, dated written notice to give the tenant before the new rent takes effect.
