Different states have different requirements when it comes to increasing rent. Make sure to check out [https://www.avail.co/education/laws](https://www.avail.co/education/laws) to view if your state has regulations around this.

In general, you cannot increase the rent during a lease period. The way to increase the rent is to let the tenants know early in the lease renewal process how much the rent will be increasing should they choose to renew the lease.
