Arkansas Rent Increase Notice

What Arkansas law says

• The AG page says at least one rental period notice is required, for oral and written leases.
• Act 459 of 2025 bars cities, counties and local units from controlling the amount of rent charged for private property.
• The pages we read set no statewide rent cap.

Steps for a landlord

• Give written notice at least one rental period ahead.
• Check the lease for fixed-term rent.
• Confirm the rule in the code.

What to put in the notice

• The tenants' names and the rental address
• The current rent and the new rent
• The date the new rent starts, after the required notice period
• The date of the notice and how it was delivered
• Your name and signature

Things to watch

• The AG page does not cite a statute for the one-period rule.
• Check the statute or a local attorney before relying on this.
• Cities and counties can add their own rules, including rent control and extra notice requirements. Check your local rules too.
