Raising rent in California Landlords are allowed to raise rent by a maximum of 10% every 12 months. That means if the CPI change is above 5%, the maximum increase caps at 10%. It's vital to understand, however, that the actual amount you can raise rent depends largely on your local city laws.
Limits on Rent Increases The Tenant Protection Act caps rent increases for most tenants in California. Landlords cannot raise rent more than 10% total or 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living ? whichever is lower ? over a 12-month period.
AB 1482 is a statewide law that went into effect on January 1, 2020 and expires on January 1, 2030. It does two main things: Requires a landlord to have a ?just cause? in order to terminate a tenancy. Limits annual rent increases to no more than 5% + local CPI, or 10% whichever is lower.
