Arkansas has no statute capping rent or requiring advance notice of a rent increase. For a month-to-month tenancy, a landlord changes rent by ending the old term and offering new terms, which requires the same 30-day written notice used to terminate a periodic tenancy under Ark. Code 18-17-704.
There is no Arkansas statute setting a rent ceiling or a dedicated rent-increase notice period. The Arkansas Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 2007 (Ark. Code 18-17-101 et seq.) is silent on rent amounts. Because a landlord cannot unilaterally raise rent mid-term, an increase on a month-to-month tenancy is effected by terminating the existing term: Ark. Code 18-17-704(b) lets either party end a month-to-month tenancy by 'a written notice given to the other at least thirty (30) days before the termination date.' New rent then applies to any renewed term the tenant accepts. There is no statewide rent control; Arkansas law does not authorize local rent-control ordinances.
No specific statutory penalty. A rent increase that is retaliatory or based on a protected class may violate fair-housing law, but Arkansas sets no fine for inadequate rent-increase notice.
