A human can go for more than three weeks without food (Mahatma Gandhi survived 21 days of complete starvation), but water is a different story. At least 60% of the adult body is made of it and every living cell in the body needs it to keep functioning.
You cannot raise the rent if you and the tenant have agreed, usually in a written lease, on a certain amount. Usually, you and the tenant will agree on a certain amount for a specific period of time. Once that time period ends, you can raise your rent with 30 (thirty) days written notice. If you and the tenant never agreed on a specific period of time, you can usually raise the rent with 30 (thirty) days written notice.
If your original lease does not tell you how much notice you have to give, the landlord-tenant laws in your area should tell you how many daysâ notice you must give. Typical notice can range from 15 to 30 days, so waiting until the last minute could mean paying an extra monthâs rent. For example, say that your lease ended on September 30, 2008, but you paid and the landlord accepted rent for October, 2008. Two weeks later, you get a job offer and have to move. In most states, youâll have to give the landlord 20-30 days notice before leaving, otherwise youâll have to pay rent for November.
