Starting January 1, 2020 AB 1482, the ?California Tenant Protection Act,? took effect. This new legislation provides statewide tenant protections including limits on rent increases, protections from evictions without cause, and relocation fees for no-fault evictions.

Not everyone will be affected by AB-1482, as there are exemptions, however, this law will still affect approximately 8 million Californians. Whether you are a tenant or a landlord, it is important that you familiarize yourself with AB-1482.

How much can a landlord raise rent in California in 2022? As explained by real estate agent Jeff Johnson of Simple Homebuyers, ?In 2022, landlords are allowed to raise rents on existing tenants between 3% and 8% annually.

During the pandemic, many people had to give up their homes and move in with family, however now that restrictions are being lifted and the economy is bouncing back, people are looking for their own homes again which leads to a large increase in renting and the demand for rental properties.

Most rental units are covered by AB 1482, including: Most apartments. If you live in a newer building built after 2005, however, AB 1482 will not apply to you. Duplexes built before 2005 if the owner of the duplex does not live in the duplex.

According to AB-1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, the maximum that landlords can raise rents in California is 5% per year, plus the percentage change in the cost of living according to the consumer price index, or 10% of the lowest rent increase at any time during the 12 months (whichever is less).

All California rental properties are covered in AB 1482 except: Homes that are NOT owned by a corporation, real estate investment trust (REIT), or an LLC where one member is a corporation, AND tenants have received notice that the unit is exempt from AB 1482 in the form required by the bill.
