Complying with AB 1482, California’s statewide rent cap law
Assembly Bill 1482, legislation that caps rent increases statewide and provides “just cause” eviction protections to tenants throughout California took effect January 1, 2020.
AB 1482 caps annual rent increases at 5% plus the rate of inflation for much of the state’s multifamily housing stock. It also requires landlords to show a “just cause” to evict tenants in place for 12 months or more.
