Mississippi Rent Increase Notice

A Mississippi landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Mississippi’s says.

Mississippi rules at a glance

Mississippi rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase30 days. There’s no statewide notice rule for rent increases; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase effectively requires the 30-day written notice needed to end the tenancy.Miss. Code §89-8-19
Rent capMississippi has no rent control, and state law limits municipalities from regulating private residential rents.

Rent, late fees & rent increases

  • Late fees — Mississippi has no statute capping late fees or requiring a grace period. The fee must be written into the lease and should be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s cost of late payment — an excessive fee risks being treated as an unenforceable penalty.
  • Rent increases — There’s no statewide notice rule for rent increases. Rent under a fixed-term lease can’t change mid-term unless the lease allows it; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase effectively requires the 30-day written notice needed to end the tenancy (§89-8-19).
  • Courts follow the lease — In a nonpayment eviction, the judge must apply the rental agreement the landlord and tenant signed (§89-8-13(5)) — so clear rent, fee and due-date terms matter more in Mississippi than in most states.
  • Rent control — Mississippi has no rent control, and state law limits municipalities from regulating private residential rents.
