Does Kentucky cap how much lot rent can increase?

No. Kentucky has no rent control, no statutory cap on a mobile home lot-rent increase, and no dedicated mobile home park rent law. This is general information, not advice about a specific increase — consider consulting a licensed attorney in Kentucky.

Does Kentucky's landlord-tenant act apply to my park?

Only if your city or county adopted it. KRS 383.500 authorizes 'cities, counties and urban-county governments to enact the provisions of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act,' and provides that 'if adopted, these provisions shall be adopted in their entirety.' Where it has not been adopted, the written lease and general law govern.

Q: How is a month-to-month lot tenancy ended in Kentucky?

Where the URLTA applies, KRS 383.695(2) provides that 'the landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by a written notice given to the other at least thirty (30) days before the periodic rental date.' A landlord typically uses that notice before offering new rent terms; there is no separate rent-increase-notice statute.

Kentucky does not have a dedicated mobile home park landlord-tenant statute, and it does not cap lot rent. Its general law — the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (KRS 383.505 to 383.715) — is local option: it applies only in cities, counties, and urban-county governments that have adopted it. Where it has not been adopted, the written lease and common law control. For a specific increase, consider consulting a licensed attorney in Kentucky.

What the statute says

On adoption, KRS 383.500 provides:

The General Assembly hereby authorizes cities, counties and urban-county governments to enact the provisions of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act as set forth in KRS 383.505 to 383.705. If adopted, these provisions shall be adopted in their entirety and without amendment.

Where the act applies, KRS 383.565(3) makes a tenancy "month-to-month" unless the agreement fixes a definite term, and KRS 383.695(2) provides that "the landlord or the tenant may terminate a month-to-month tenancy by a written notice given to the other at least thirty (30) days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice."

How it works in general

Because there is no cap and no mobile-home-specific rent statute, the written lease controls the rent. Where the URLTA has been adopted locally, a lot tenancy is month-to-month unless the lease fixes a term, and either party ends a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice — the mechanism a landlord generally uses before offering new rent. Where the URLTA has not been adopted, the lease terms and common-law notice rules apply. Neither path limits the amount of an increase.

Common scenarios

General examples Kentucky park residents commonly encounter:

A notice raises the lot rent. The questions are what the lease says and, in a URLTA jurisdiction, whether the 30-day month-to-month notice was used.
A resident looks for a statewide cap or special notice. Kentucky has neither.
A resident is unsure whether the act applies. KRS 383.500 makes it local option — adoption by the city or county is what determines coverage.

Other authorities that may apply

The written lease supplies the rent and any increase terms. Whether the URLTA applies depends on local adoption (KRS 383.500). Mobile home and recreational vehicle parks are also subject to state health and sanitation licensing under KRS Chapter 219, and federal law such as the Fair Housing Act can apply to how increases are administered. Reading the lease closely is the most important step in Kentucky.
