Limits on Rent Increases The Tenant Protection Act caps rent increases for most residential tenants in California. Landlords cannot raise rent more than 10% total or 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living whichever is lower over a 12-month period.
Under California civil code, tenants without leases maintain rights like limits on rent increases, proper notice before eviction, and requiring the landlord to maintain habitable living conditions. Be aware that without a lease, landlords only need to provide 30 days notice to increase rent or terminate tenancy.
But, your landlord can still require you to move out for one of the no-fault reasons listed in the law. If your landlord evicts you for one of these reasons, they must first give you one months rent or waive one months rent to help you move out.
Starting on July 1, landlords and property owners in California will not be able to charge more than a single months rent as a security deposit. Owners with no more than four units across no more than two properties may request up to two months rent.
