Your landlord can increase your rent no more than once every 12 months either from the date of the previous rent increase or 12 months after you move in. The day your rent goes up, i.e. the first day of the month, is often called your “anniversary date”.

Your landlord must give you written notice of any rent increase at least 90 days before your rent goes up. If you do not get a written notice, you do not have to pay a rent increase. One exception to this rule: if you have signed an agreement to pay more in exchange for new services or improvements, then no notice is required. See Sections 126 and 127 of the TPA.
