California AB 1482, the Tenant Protection Act, caps annual rent increases on most Sacramento rentals at 5 percent plus regional CPI, capped at 10 percent total, and requires landlords to give tenants written notice of coverage.
California AB 1482, codified at Civ. Code Section 1947.12 and Section 1946.2, caps annual rent increases on most non-exempt Sacramento rental units at 5 percent plus the regional CPI, with a hard cap of 10 percent in any 12-month period. Coverage excludes single-family homes owned by non-corporate landlords with proper notice, condos with similar notice, owner-occupied duplexes, and units less than 15 years old on a rolling basis. Landlords of covered units must provide an AB 1482 notice in the lease or as an addendum. AB 1482 layers under Sacramento's local Tenant Protection and Relief Act in Title 5 Chapter 5.156, which provides parallel protections.
Excess rent increases are void and recoverable. Tenants may sue for restitution, and willful violations may trigger civil penalties up to three times the overcharge plus attorney's fees under Civ. Code Section 1947.12.
