Answer:
Landlords can generally raise rent, but the legality depends on state laws and the terms of your lease. In many areas, landlords must provide notice before increasing rent, and there may be limits on how much they can raise it. Since your lease is ending and you are signing a new one, your landlord may have the right to set a new rent amount. However, it’s important to check local laws regarding rent increases and notice requirements.
