Under the provisions of the TPA, landlords are allowed to increase rents each year by 5% plus the applicable average increase in the cost of living in order to allow for inflation. There is a maximum increase of 10% allowed in any given year, thus the Act's provision is often referred to as a ?rent cap.?
Tenants without leases are also protected under California's rent control laws. If you are renting month-to-month without a lease agreement, you still have the right to receive notice before any changes are made to your rental agreement. This includes changes to your rent amount or other terms of your tenancy.
Landlords must also give tenants sufficient warning before increasing rent. If the rent increase is less than 10%, landlords must provide notice 30 days before the increase can take effect. If the rent increase is more than 10%, the landlord must provide notice 90 days before it can take effect.
