Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement

In Rhode Island, landlords and tenants must issue each other at least 30 days of written notice if they seek to end a month-to-month rental agreement. Rhode Island law doesn’t require a reason for termination, as long as the action isn’t discriminatory or retaliatory.

Rent Increase Laws

Rhode Island has no rent control or stabilization laws, meaning there is no legal limit on how much a landlord can increase rent.

As of June 24, 2024, landlords must provide:

• At least 60 days of written notice for tenants aged 62 or younger
• At least 120 days of written notice for tenants older than 62 (§ 34-18-16.1)
