Take action today to stop AB 1157 by Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, which would impose stricter rent control on nearly all rental housing providers in California.

The bill will be heard in the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee on Thursday, April 24, 2025. We need your help to defeat this harmful legislation.

AB 1157 would:

• Limit annual residential rents to 2% plus inflation (capped at 5%). This new limit would override the state’s existing rent caps that are set at 5% plus inflation (capped at 10%).
• Extend this drastically lowered cap to single-family homes, condominiums, accessory dwelling units, and individually owned townhomes.

This legislation disregards the clear will of California voters, who have rejected stricter rent control measures at the ballot box on three separate occasions. Propositions 10, 21, and 33 were each defeated by more than 20 percentage points.

We need your help. Lawmakers should focus on what California needs most: more housing, not more restrictive regulations.

Contact your lawmakers today and urge them to vote No on AB 1157.
