Rent Control: Vacaville vs Vallejo

Is there rent control in Vacaville?

No local rent control. Vacaville has not enacted a rent-stabilization ordinance. Annual rent increases on covered units are governed by the statewide cap in California Civil Code Section 1947.12 (AB 1482), which limits increases to the lesser of CPI plus 5% or 10% over any 12-month period.

Which CPI applies to Vacaville rent increases?

Vacaville is part of the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward CPI region used by AB 1482 for the April-to-April annual change calculation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the regional CPI each spring, and landlords use it to compute the maximum lawful increase for notices served during the operative AB 1482 year (typically August 1 through July 31).

Is my Vacaville single-family home covered by AB 1482?

Single-family homes and condominiums owned by natural persons (not corporations, LLCs with corporate members, or REITs) are statutorily exempt only if the landlord delivers the written exemption notice required by California Civil Code Section 1947.12(d)(5). Without that notice, the unit is treated as covered. Homes owned by corporate entities are covered regardless of the notice.

Is there rent control in Vallejo?

Local rent control measures may apply. Check with Vallejo housing department for covered units, allowable increases, and tenant rights.

How much notice is required before a rent increase?

Typically 30 days for month-to-month tenancies and at lease renewal for fixed-term leases. Some states require 60 to 90 days for larger increases. Check state landlord-tenant law for specifics.
