California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019) requires landlords countywide in Orange County to provide written notice of statewide rent caps and just-cause eviction protections, or to certify a property's exemption status, in every lease and renewal.
AB 1482 (Civil Code 1946.2 and 1947.12) applies to most rental units in Orange County and requires landlords to give tenants written notice that the property is subject to statewide rent and eviction limits, capping annual increases at 5% plus CPI (max 10%). Single-family homes owned by individuals (not corporate or REIT) are exempt only if a separate exemption notice is delivered. The disclosure must appear in the lease or be provided as an addendum signed by the tenant. Failure to disclose can result in loss of exemption and tenant remedies. The law operates alongside Costa-Hawkins, which preempts vacancy-decontrol limits.
Failing to provide AB 1482 disclosure, omitting required exemption notice for single-family rentals, or charging rent above the cap can void rent increases, trigger tenant claims for restitution, and expose landlords to civil penalties.
