Ing to San José Municipal Code section 17.23. 310, a landlord may only raise rent for a covered rental unit by 5% of the rent charged in the preceding twelve months.
Tenants have the right to a safe and habitable living environment, and they can take action if their landlord fails to address serious issues. In California, landlords must provide reasonable notice before entering a rental unit and return security deposits within 21 days of move-out.
The Apartment Rent Ordinance limits rent hikes to 5% every 12 months for units built before September 7, 1979. This helps maintain affordability in rental housing. Landlords must follow guidelines set to prevent sudden, large rent increases. San Jose's rent stabilization program ensures tenants understand their rights.

HOAs are usually governed by a board of directors or governors that is elected by the homeowners to make decisions about the HOA and enforce its rules. Most HOAs in California are set up as nonprofit mutual benefit corporations, but some may be structured differently.
San Jose's Rent Stabilization Program requires landlords to provide tenants with a 30-day written notice for rent increases. They cannot exceed the 5% annual increase limit.
