Statewide Rent Caps: AB 1482 limits annual rent increases to 5% plus the local CPI increase or 10%, whichever is lower.
For Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, the March 2023 CPI adjustment for calculating rent increases has been set at 4.3% - for a total maximum rent increase of 9.3%. These percentages will be in effect from August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025 for rentals that are subject to AB 1482.
