Learn MoreAB 1482 Rent Increase Notice
Effective January 1, 2020, AB 1482 imposed limits on rent increases for most residential rental properties in California. The maximum rent increase in Sacramento County is 9.2% (5% plus current Consumer Price Index, or CPI, of 4.2% through July 30, 2024), or 10%, whichever one is lower. The CPI adjusts annually as of August 1. Per recent HUD review, AB 1482 applies towards HCV participants. After March 1, 2024, the tenant’s notice of a rent change must show a new rent amount that does not exceed 9.2% of the current rent.

SERA applications and re-certifications received after Friday, February 11, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. will be placed on a waiting list while staff completes processing approximately 30,000+ applications that have already been submitted. However, any applications received after February 11, 2022 where the tenants have received an eviction notice (and the Sacramento Superior Court notifies SERA Program staff) will not remain on the waiting list but will be reviewed for eligibility to determine if payment can be issued immediately.
