General rules around rent increases For any tenancy: your landlord must get your permission if they want to increase the rent by more than previously agreed. the rent increase must be fair and realistic, which means in line with average local rents.
While there currently isnt a limit on the amount a landlord can increase rent, any increase should be fair and realistic. You should review the average rents in the same area and ensure that any increase will not take the monthly rent out of proportion with the local market.
For periodic tenancies, the maximum allowable increase is once every 12 months. The Act outlines that landlords must provide at least 60 days notice for rent increases in these cases. However, it is important to note that there is no specific percentage cap for periodic tenancies.
Under AB 1482, landlords are limited to increasing rent by no more than 5% plus the local CPI (inflation rate) or 10%, whichever is lower. The local inflation rate is determined by the California Consumer Price Index (CCPI), which is released annually by the California Department of Finance.
