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 8.8% (5% plus current Consumer Price Index, or CPI, of 3.8% through July 30, 2025), 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 August 1, 2024, the tenant’s notice of a rent change must show a new rent amount that does not exceed 8.8% of the current rent.
