AB 1482 caps increases at 5% plus CPI, to a 10% ceiling

Verified on 2026-08-01 — 61 days ago.

The Tenant Protection Act caps annual rent increases at 5% plus CPI, with a hard ceiling of 10%, on housing built more than 15 years ago.

The 15-year window rolls forward, so a building drifts into coverage with age rather than being fixed by its construction date at purchase.

Annual cap: 10%
Construction: Built before 2011

In effect since 2020-01-01.
