The full explanation

Yes, a tenant has the right to dispute a Rent increase if the landlord fails to provide the mandatory ninety (90) day notice before the lease expires. If the landlord misses this deadline, the tenant is legally entitled to renew the lease at the current rent amount. Any attempt to increase the rent with shorter notice is a violation of the procedural rules, and the RDSC will typically rule in favor of the tenant to maintain the original contract terms for another year.
