How much a landlord can raise rent, and what notice they must give
This page covers rent increases in Kentucky for a residential tenancy — whether there is a cap, and what notice a landlord must give.
It does not cover commercial leases, subsidised housing (which follows federal rules), or any city whose local ordinance differs from the state rule.
肯塔基无州级租金上限，也无地方租金管制。
Ky. Rev. Stat. § 383.500 (no rent cap) ↗肯塔基无专门涨租通知天数。月租涨租须走 383.695 的 30 天终止通知（URLTA 采纳区）再 offer 新租金；固定期租约内不得涨租（除非租约明含条款）。
非采纳区无成文月租终止天数，惯例与租期等长（如月租 30 天）。

Where the official text and a secondary summary disagree, this page follows the official text and says so. Where a provision admits of more than one reading, that is flagged rather than smoothed over.
