Answer:
Yes. If the tenant does not object and the rent increase is within the permissible limit (e.g., 10% as per the Rental Index Calculator), the lease can be renewed with the updated rent. The landlord is entitled to the increase if the proper procedures are followed and both parties do not dispute the renewal.
