california tenant protection act
The California Tenant Protection Act of 2019, AB 1482, is effective January 1, 2020, through January 1, 2030. The law requires a landlord to have a “just cause” in order to terminate a tenancy. It limits annual rent increases to no more than 5% + local CPI (CPI = inflation rate), or 10% whichever is lower.
Not all landlords and properties are covered by this new law. Some units are exempt from these regulations. Here is a tool to help you determine if your rental is covered by the California Tenant Protection Act, AB 1482: https://tenantprotections.org/
