Stop stricter rent control in California
AB 1157 will be heard at the Capitol on April 24. Lawmakers need to hear from you today.
What’s at stake
A new bill would impose severe statewide rent caps and eviction restrictions on nearly all rental housing providers — including single-family homes, condos, and ADUs.
- Slash California’s rent cap to 2% plus inflation, capped at 5%
- Eliminate protections for small, individually owned properties
- Make these strict rules permanent statewide
Why it matters
The bill disregards the will of California voters, who have rejected stricter rent control three times at the ballot box.
If passed, AB 1157 would:
- Discourage investment in rental housing
- Shrink the housing supply
- Push small property owners out of the market
