Sacramento protects renewal of covered established tenancies

Verified on 2026-08-18 — 42 days ago.

For property covered by Sacramento's Tenant Protection Program, an owner must offer renewal after the tenant has resided in the unit for more than 12 months unless an authorised termination ground applies.

The city programme covers qualifying apartments and duplexes built before February 1995; state AB 1482 remains the fallback outside that local footprint.

Unit counts: 2+ units
Construction: Built before 1996
