Yes, separately alienable SFRs and condos not owned by a corporation or REIT are exempt under Costa-Hawkins, but the landlord must serve the required exemption notice in writing.

Does Reedley have rent control?

Reedley does not have a local rent control ordinance, but California's statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) applies. Rent increases are capped at 5 percent plus the local CPI change, or 10 percent, whichever is lower, for qualifying properties at least 15 years old.

Is my Reedley rental property exempt from AB 1482?

Your property may be exempt if it is a single-family home or condo not owned by a corporation, REIT, or LLC with a corporate member, and you have provided the tenant with a written exemption notice. Housing built within the last 15 years is also exempt. Owner-occupied duplexes and deed-restricted affordable housing are excluded as well.

What happens if my Reedley landlord raises rent above the AB 1482 cap?

You may recover overpaid rent through civil action. File a complaint with the California Department of Consumer Affairs or consult a tenant rights attorney. Courts may award actual damages plus attorney fees for violations of the rent cap.
