Aptoria can draft a rent-increase notice from the lease and location rules, bounded by the maximum increase you configure. You must review the amount, effective date, and notice timing, then approve it before it sends. A rent increase never sends autonomously.
The agent drafts, it does not send
The agent drafts, it does not send
A rent-increase notice is never sent autonomously in Aptoria. Changing what a tenant pays sits behind human approval regardless of how your autonomy dials are set: the agent prepares the notice and you approve it before anything reaches the tenant.
This usually comes up at renewal. When a lease is approaching its end, the agent can draft the renewal with a proposed rent, bounded by the maximum increase percent you have configured, so it never proposes a bigger jump than you allow. The draft lands in your approval queue for you to accept, adjust, or reject.
How much notice you owe before raising rent is set by your state, and sometimes your city, and it can depend on the size of the increase and how long the tenant has lived there. Because those rules vary, Aptoria works from the rules configured for the unit's location rather than a single national timeline, and keeps the actual send a step you confirm.
Before you approve, check the effective date and that the notice period lines up with your local requirement. If a tenant is on a fixed-term lease, a mid-term increase usually is not permitted at all and the change waits for renewal — the draft reflects the lease you actually have.
You review the draft in the approval queue, make any edits, and approve it to send. Once sent, the notice and its terms are recorded, so you have a dated record of what was communicated and when.
