Kentucky Notice of Non-Renewal

This Notice of Non-Renewal is built with Kentucky as the governing state. These are the Kentucky landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Kentucky rules at a glance

Kentucky rules for a Notice of Non-Renewal
Month-to-month termination30 days before a rental date (URLTA) · elsewhere, 1 month’s written notice from the landlord for a tenancy at willKRS 383.695(2), 383.195
Rent-increase noticeNo statute; in URLTA areas, give at least the 30-day month-to-month termination notice
Rent increasesThere’s no statutory rent-increase notice period. A fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless it allows it; for a month-to-month tenancy in a URLTA area, the safe practice is to give at least the 30 days’ notice needed to end it (KRS 383.695(2)).
Rent controlNo Kentucky city or county has rent control, and since 2024 local governments may not adopt landlord–tenant ordinances that conflict with state law (KRS 383.198). The same 2024 law (HB 18) also bars local rules forcing landlords to accept federal housing vouchers.

Rent, late fees & rent increases

Where the URLTA applies, rent is payable without demand or notice at the time and place agreed, and by default at the dwelling unit at the start of each month (KRS 383.565(2)).

  • Late fees — Kentucky has no statutory late-fee cap. The amount and any grace period come from the lease, so they should be written in clearly.
  • Rent increases — There’s no statutory rent-increase notice period. A fixed-term lease can’t be raised mid-term unless it allows it; for a month-to-month tenancy in a URLTA area, the safe practice is to give at least the 30 days’ notice needed to end it (KRS 383.695(2)).
  • Rent control — No Kentucky city or county has rent control, and since 2024 local governments may not adopt landlord–tenant ordinances that conflict with state law (KRS 383.198). The same 2024 law (HB 18) also bars local rules forcing landlords to accept federal housing vouchers.
