California AB 1482 the Tenant Protection Act caps annual rent increases at five percent plus regional CPI capped at ten percent and requires just-cause grounds for evictions, layered onto Oakland's stronger local Just Cause and Rent Adjustment Program protections.
AB 1482 took effect January 1, 2020 and applies statewide to most rental units more than 15 years old not covered by stricter local rent control. Annual rent increases are capped at 5% plus regional CPI, with an absolute ceiling of 10%. Landlords must serve a written disclosure of AB 1482 protections in any new lease or amendment for covered units. Costa-Hawkins still exempts single-family homes owned by individuals, though the 1482 disclosure rule applies. Oakland Rent Adjustment Program protections override AB 1482 where stronger.
Failing to provide the AB 1482 disclosure or charging excess rent above the cap exposes landlords to refunds, penalties, and unlawful detainer defenses under California Civil Code 1946.2 and 1947.12.
