QUESTION
My lease is up in December and I received a notice that my rent will increasing from 1150/mo to 1325/mo as of 03/01/2016. Is this legal?

More details to this question:
I have been renting for a while and I have never known of such a substantial increase. I think the owner has changed, does this make a difference in the amount of money an owner is allowed to increase your rent?

If you live in a rent controlled apartment in L.A., the increase is limited to 3%. Other rent control jurisdictions have different amounts. Where do you live?
If you are not under rent control, the increase is legal.
