30 days rent-increase notice.
Rhode Island has no rent control. Month-to-month increases require 30 days' notice (60 days if the tenant is 62+).
What this means for you: Rent can rise by any amount at renewal; older tenants get longer notice.
Your next step: Confirm the correct notice period for your situation.
