California's new rent increase limits are important for landlords to know

 

Attention to all landlords California's rent laws have undergone recent revisions and updates. You should be aware to stay compliant and manage rental properties efficiently. It is important to stay abreast of these changes in order to maintain compliance and manage properties effectively.


Understanding new rent increase limits


California has now set limits on the amount of rent that can be raised on its properties. Here's a quick summary of the key points:


Rent Increase Maximum: Within 12 months, your annual rent increase can't be higher than 5% or 10% plus the inflation rate.

Example: If inflation is 3% in 2020, the maximum increase in rent allowed will be 8% (5+ 3). These caps are designed to protect tenants from excessive rent increases, while still managing costs efficiently.

Rent Control laws vary from city to city. Always check local regulations for full compliance.

Strategic Rent Increases In light of these limitations, it's important to plan regular and moderate rent increases to stay compliant without exceeding your rental cap. This ensures that tenants are not put under financial stress.

California's rent increases limits will help you manage your rental property efficiently and stay compliant.
