California Civil Code section 1946.2 requires landlords of covered Riverside County rentals to include a specific just-cause and rent-cap disclosure in every lease and in a separate notice to existing tenants. Failure to deliver the notice undermines later eviction efforts.
AB 1482 applies to most multifamily buildings older than fifteen years across Riverside County, including units in unincorporated areas. Landlords must provide the statutory disclosure either inside the lease as an addendum or through a separate signed notice for tenants whose tenancies began before July 2020. The disclosure explains the annual rent cap of five percent plus regional CPI, capped at ten percent total, and the just-cause eviction protections that kick in after twelve months of occupancy. Single-family homes owned by individuals with proper Costa-Hawkins notices are exempt.
Omitting the AB 1482 notice can prevent the landlord from enforcing market rent increases above the cap and can defeat a no-fault eviction in court.
