AG Bonta announced updated resources on residential rent increase limits under state and local laws. Under the Tenant Protection Act, most landlords cannot raise rent by more than 10% total or by 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living — whichever is lower — over a 12-month period.

“A key step in the California dream is having a safe and affordable place to decompress after work, build memories, and raise a family without sudden and unreasonable rent hikes. Information on tenant rights should be accessible, easy to understand, and available to all Californians, and today’s resources aim to do just that.”  -AG Bonta
