Signs of the slowdown seen in California are already being hinted at in national numbers. Though median rent nationwide hit an all-time high in July, the increase over June's median rent was the smallest so far in 2022. It also marked the lowest year-over-year growth since August 2021.

If your building is older than that, your unit may be subject to the law's limits on annual rent hikes. Those limits come out to 5% plus the local consumer price index ? or 10%, whichever is lower. With inflation running very high, the law's 10% maximum annual rent hike will take effect starting in August 2022.

In California, when rental property owners increase a tenant's rent more than 10 percent, the owner must provide the tenant with a 60-day advance written notice. For an increase in rent that is greater than 10 percent, owners must provide tenants with at least 60- days' advance notice.

This year, the rules say rents can be increased by last September's Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus an extra 1%. The CPI is a common measure of inflation and in September 2021 was 3.1%. This means that most rents will increase by 4.1% from April 2022.

If you live in an area with rent stabilization, your local area's law limits rent increases. If you don't live in an area with rent stabilization, your landlord can increase your rent by any amount.

The Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482) restricts rent increases in any 12-month period to no more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living (CPI), or 10%, whichever is lower. For increases that take effect on or after Aug. 1, 2022, due to inflation, all the applicable CPIs are 5% or greater.

All California rental properties are covered in AB 1482 except: Homes that are NOT owned by a corporation, real estate investment trust (REIT), or an LLC where one member is a corporation, AND tenants have received notice that the unit is exempt from AB 1482 in the form required by the bill.

According to AB-1482, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, the maximum that landlords can raise rents in California is 5% per year, plus the percentage change in the cost of living according to the consumer price index, or 10% of the lowest rent increase at any time during the 12 months (whichever is less).
