To comply with the law requiring a full 30 days' notice plus an additional 3 days for mailing, you need to calculate the last possible date you can mail the rent increase notice to ensure it is effective on July 1st.

  1. Effective date: July 1
  2. Required notice period: 30 days
  3. Additional notice for mailing: 3 days

The total notice period is 30 days + 3 days = 33 days.

To find the last possible date to mail the notice, subtract 33 days from July 1:

  • Subtracting 30 days takes you to June 1.
  • Subtracting the additional 3 days takes you to May 29.

Thus, the last possible date to mail the notice so that it is legally binding with an effective rent increase on July 1st is May 29.
