About eviction risk in Rhode Island

Rhode Island spans 39 cities in our dataset, with an average landlord-risk score of 5.1/10. Scores range from 4.6 in the most landlord-neutral jurisdictions to 7.3 in the most tenant-protective. The state's average rent burden (median gross rent ÷ median household income) is 32.9%, which is the single strongest predictor of eviction filings.

Landlords operating anywhere in Rhode Island should review state-level statutes on notice periods, just-cause requirements, security deposit limits, and grace periods before initiating any eviction. Local ordinances in tenant-protective cities may impose additional requirements beyond state minimums — use the city grids above to see risk at the specific jurisdiction where you own rentals.
