Mississippi has no statute capping rent or setting a dedicated rent-increase notice period, and rent control is not authorized. Because rent cannot change mid-term, a landlord raises rent on a periodic tenancy only by terminating it under Miss. Code section 89-8-19 — 30 days' notice for month-to-month, 7 days for week-to-week.
No Mississippi statute sets a rent ceiling or a separate rent-increase notice requirement, and the state does not authorize local rent control. A landlord cannot unilaterally raise rent during a fixed-term lease. To increase rent on a periodic tenancy, the landlord must end the current term using the notice in Miss. Code section 89-8-19 — at least 30 days before the termination date for a month-to-month tenancy, or 7 days for week-to-week — then offer the new rate, which the tenant may accept or decline. Mississippi is landlord-friendly with no statewide rent control. A rent increase that is retaliatory or discriminatory may violate federal fair-housing law, but no Mississippi statute prescribes a rent-increase-specific notice or limit.
No specific statutory penalty. Mississippi sets no fine for inadequate rent-increase notice; an increase that is discriminatory or retaliatory may breach federal fair-housing law instead.
