Mieterhöhung und Mietpreisbremse in Kentucky

Ankündigung vor einer Mieterhöhung

Keine gesetzliche Frist bestätigtKRS 383.198No statute sets a rent increase notice; a month-to-month tenancy under the Uniform Act ends on 30 days' written notice (KRS 383.695(2)). Since 2024 local governments may not adopt landlord-tenant ordinances that conflict with state law, but no statute bans rent control by name.
