California rules owners should know
- Rent cap (AB 1482). For most rentals, a yearly rent increase can be at most 5% plus local inflation, and never more than 10% in 12 months.
- Just cause. Once a tenant has lived in the home for 12 months, an owner generally needs a reason listed in the law to end the tenancy. For some no-fault reasons (such as moving in yourself) the tenant gets relocation help, usually one month's rent.
- Not every home is covered. Common exceptions: homes built in the last 15 years, and single-family homes or condos not owned by a corporation or REIT, but only if the lease includes the required written notice.
- Local rules. Some California cities have their own, stricter rent and eviction rules. Check the Attorney General's list and the City of San Clemente before you set or raise rent.
Official sources: California Attorney General: limits on rent increases · California Courts: evictions · Civil Code 1947.12 (rent cap) · Civil Code 1946.2 (just cause)
