Key Takeaways: California Tenant Rights 2024 Rent control measures have been expanded, limiting annual rent increases in many properties. Just cause eviction protections now cover more tenants, requiring landlords to have a valid reason for eviction.
In 2016, Richmond passed the Fair Rent, Just Cause for Eviction and Homeowner Protection Ordinance — the first rent-control law in Contra Costa County. The comprehensive measure includes both rent control and just cause eviction, which makes no-fault evictions costlier for landlords.
OVERVIEW OF AB 1482 Limits annual rent increases to no more than 5% + local CPI, or 10%, whichever is lower.
The Ellis Act is a 1985 California state law that allows landlords to evict residential tenants to “go out of the rental business.” In California, landlords (big and small) can choose to go out of the rental business and evict tenants.
Under AB 1482, landlords can raise rent by a maximum of 5% plus the local CPI or 10%, whichever is lower.
Ing to AB-1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, landlords in California are only permitted to increase rent by 5% plus 10% or the annual inflation rate, whichever is lower.
The new California law puts a statewide ceiling on rent hikes each year. So if inflation was 4% in your city last year, the maximum increase would be 9% for your unit. This provides an important check against runaway rent spikes every time a lease is renewed.
Contra Costa County has implemented rent control and just cause eviction protections in certain areas. These laws: Limit annual rent increases. Protect tenants from arbitrary evictions.
