California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019) requires landlords statewide to give tenants a written notice describing the law's rent cap and just-cause rules. Santa Ana enforces local protections that are often stronger.
AB 1482 sets a statewide annual rent increase cap of 5% plus regional CPI (capped at 10%) for covered units and requires just cause for terminations after twelve months of tenancy. Landlords must deliver a specific disclosure either in the lease or as a standalone notice. In Santa Ana, the local Rent Stabilization Ordinance often provides stronger 3% or CPI caps and broader coverage, but the statewide AB 1482 disclosure is still required for any unit not exempted. Failing to provide the notice may waive the landlord's right to certain pass-through increases.
Failing to deliver the required statewide disclosure on or before lease commencement, or relying on it for an exempt-unit claim without proper documentation, undermines rent increase enforcement.
