3. A landlord may not increase rent during a fixed-term tenancy unless the written lease agreement expressly permits the increase on specific terms and at specific times.

4. The notice must clearly state the new rent amount and the effective date on which the increase takes effect.

5. Any attempted increase that does not comply with the RTA timing, notice, or frequency rules is of no effect.
