Official Law Citation: KRS 65.875 / KRS 383.695
Kentucky has no rent control and no state law limiting the amount or frequency of rent increases. Landlords must comply with notice requirements, but the legal use differs depending on whether the property is in a URLTA-adopted jurisdiction.
No Rent Control
Kentucky does not have rent control at the state or local level. Landlords may increase rent by any amount, at any time the lease permits, subject only to notice requirements and anti-retaliation protections.
Notice Requirements
For month-to-month tenancies, the landlord must give at least 30 days' written notice before the start of the next rental period. For fixed-term leases, the rent is locked for the lease term and increases only at renewal.
URLTA vs. Non-URLTA Jurisdictions
In URLTA-adopted jurisdictions, the 30-day notice requirement is codified in statute. In non-URLTA jurisdictions, common law principles apply, and the notice period may depend on the terms of the lease or customary practice.
Restrictions on Rent Increases
While there is no cap, landlords cannot increase rent:
- In retaliation against a tenant who has exercised a legal right (e.g., filing a complaint about code violations or requesting repairs).
- In a discriminatory manner - the Fair Housing Act prohibits increases based on race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or familial status.
