What Mississippi law says
| Notice before a rent increase | No statute sets a rent-increase notice period. After a fixed-term lease expires, the landlord may demand a rent increase unless its main purpose is retaliation for a tenant's protected actions. A month-to-month tenancy can be ended (and so changed) with 30 days' written notice, or 7 days for week-to-week. |
|---|---|
| Rent control / increase limits | No rent control. State law bars cities and towns (§ 21-17-5(2)(h)) and counties (§ 19-3-40(3)(g)) from regulating, directly or indirectly, the rent charged for private residential property in which they have no property interest, unless the Legislature gives prior approval. |
