Connecticut · Rent increases

How much can my rent go up in Connecticut?

The Connecticut Judicial Branch guide describes no state cap or formula on rent increases. Landlords may raise rent, except during a written lease unless the lease allows it, and no particular notice period is required unless the lease provides one. Fair Rent Commissions in some towns hear complaints but no numeric limit is set.
