Rent, late fees & rent increases
Arkansas has no statute capping residential late fees or requiring a grace period. A late fee should be written into the lease and kept to a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss.
- Rent increases — There’s no rent-increase notice statute. Rent can’t change during a fixed term unless the lease allows it; for month-to-month, give at least the 30 days needed to end the tenancy (§18-17-704).
- Rent control — Cities and counties can’t enact or enforce any ordinance controlling the amount of rent on private residential property (§§14-54-1409, 14-16-601).
- No rent withholding — Even where the 2021 habitability standards are breached, a tenant may not offset or withhold rent (§18-17-502).
Ending an Arkansas tenancy
| Week-to-week | 7 days |
|---|---|
| Month-to-month | 30 days |
- Nonpayment of rent — If rent isn’t paid within 5 days of the due date, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement (§18-17-701(b)). Before filing an unlawful-detainer action, the landlord serves a 3-day written notice to quit and demand for possession (§18-60-304(3)).
- Other breaches — For a noncompliance other than rent, written notice specifying the breach gives the tenant 14 days to remedy it before the agreement terminates (§18-17-701(a)).
- Holdover — A willful holdover can cost the tenant up to the greater of three months’ rent or twice actual damages, plus reasonable attorney’s fees (§18-17-704(c)).
- Military — Servicemembers with qualifying orders can end a lease early under the federal SCRA (50 U.S.C. §3955).
