An aside is a dramatic device in which a character speaks to the audience. By convention the audience is to realize that the character's speech is unheard by the other characters on stage.
If you have a lease for more than 30 days (e.g. 1-year lease), your rent cannot be increased during the term of the lease, unless the lease allows rent increases. If you have a periodic rental agreement (month-to-month), your landlord can increase your rent, but must give you proper advance notice in writing. (Civil Code Section 827 (b)).
Sacramento does not have a rent control ordinance. Therefore, theoretically there is no limit to the amount the landlord can increase your rent. However, the increase would only be valid for a month to month tenancy or less, or for example where your lease is expiring in 30 days. It's important to note that even if you're on month to month tenancy, the landlord cannot raise the rent in retaliation for some action you took like making a legitimate complaint or for legally withholding rent. Moreover, the landlord can't raise the rent as a discriminatory action. If you suspect that you have been retaliated or discriminated against as a result of the increase, speak to attorney as soon as a possible.
