There is no statewide rent control in Rhode Island, meaning there is no legal cap on the amount by which a landlord can increase rent. However, increases must be deemed fair and are subject to the fair housing act.
A landlord must provide a tenant with a written notice 30 days or more prior to the effective date, for a rental increase for a residential tenancy that is on a weekly or monthly basis. With longer tenancies it is 30 days prior to expiration of the current rental agreement.
The amount that a landlord can raise rent in California in 2023 will depend on the specific local inflation rate and the individual rental property. Under AB 1482, landlords are limited to increasing rent by no more than 5% plus the local CPI (inflation rate) or 10%, whichever is lower.
What new rental laws have been enacted in Rhode Island in 2025? Effective January 1, 2025, landlords cannot charge convenience fees for rent payments unless an alternative fee-free payment method is available. All additional fees must be clearly disclosed in writing.
