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)).
In such month-to-month tenancies, the landlord may increase rent by giving the tenant at least 30 days notice in writing of the rent increase. A rent increase may take effect any time during a month. The rent for a month during which the rent increase takes effect would be prorated.
