California AB 1482 requires Berkeley landlords to provide written notice of statewide rent cap and just-cause coverage, even though Berkeley's stronger local rules supersede the floor for most pre-1995 units.
California Civil Code Section 1946.2, enacted by AB 1482 in 2019, caps annual rent increases at five percent plus CPI to a maximum of ten percent and requires just cause for evictions after twelve months tenancy. Berkeley landlords must include the statutory notice in every new lease and as an addendum for existing tenancies. Berkeley's Rent Stabilization Ordinance and Just Cause Ordinance apply more strictly to pre-1995 stock under Costa-Hawkins. Post-1995 stock and exempt units fall under AB 1482's framework. The disclosure tells tenants which regime governs.
Missing the AB 1482 notice does not invalidate the lease but creates an estoppel defense for tenants and exposes landlords to civil liability for misrepresented eviction rights.
