AI Summary
This bill, by amending the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, increases the amount of advance notice landlords must provide to month-to-month tenants before raising rent or terminating their tenancy. Specifically, landlords will now be required to give tenants at least sixty (60) days' written notice, a significant increase from the previous thirty (30) days. For tenants aged sixty-two (62) years or older, this notice period is further extended to one hundred twenty (120) days. The bill also updates the required notice forms to reflect these changes and specifies that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
