Rental laws
What are the laws concerning a landlords right to raise the rent when there is no lease in question? Is there a limit to the dollar amount the rent can be raised, and how often can it be raised?

Re: Rental laws
If you have no written lease, you have a periodic tenancy. If rent is paid monthly, then the lease is from month-to-month. YOu can raise rent at will with a thirty-day notice, unless the jurisdication has a rent-control law applicable to your property.
