Fresno, CA Rental Property Rules: AB-1482 Notice Disclosure (2026)

Costa-Hawkins prevents Fresno from enacting local rent control on most post-1995 housing, but California's AB 1482 imposes a statewide rent cap of five percent plus inflation, capped at ten percent annually, and just-cause eviction requirements for covered units. Landlords of covered properties must provide tenants with a specific statutory notice describing these protections. For tenancies that began or were renewed after July 1, 2020, the notice must either be included as an addendum to the lease or delivered as a separate written notice. Failure to provide the disclosure does not waive the protections but can complicate enforcement of allowable rent increases and evictions.
