Month to month lease and raising rent
What are the requirements to raise rent on a month to month lease? Is it just 30 days notice or is there something more? Does it matter how much the increase is compared to the total rent? How does one take in to account market rent when a place has been rented for below market rent or not raised in multiple years?
Can a landlord in a month to month lease that started off paying water or other utilities later require tenant to start paying those utilities? How does this work and should the landlord be mindful of?
If a landlord notifies a tenant of increase in rent or starting to pay utilities previously paid by landlord and the tenant does not comply what remedy does the landlord have? Does a tenant have a reasonable expectation that anything will stay the same or change through the year in a month to month lease situation?
