This landmark legislation, officially the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, will cap annual rent increases at 5% plus the rate of inflation for much of the state’s multifamily housing stock. It also will require landlords to show a “just cause” to evict tenants in place for 12 months or more.
AB 1482 takes effect Jan. 1, 2020. In the meantime, the California Apartment Association is committed to educating the industry about AB 1482 and how it will affect their business operations. The association is preparing a plethora of compliance documents and forms to help members follow the law, the first of which are available below.
