How much can I raise rent?
The Tenant Protection Act of 2019, also known as AB 1482, permits annual rent increases of 5\% plus the CPI per year, up to 10\%. This means that the minimum a landlord can increase rent is 5\% per year. However, there are exemptions to this policy. Certain properties are not subject to AB 1482, and landlords can raise rent however much they please.
