Rent control rules in Elk Grove, CA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Elk Grove has no local rent control ordinance. Statewide AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019) caps annual rent increases at 5% plus CPI (max 10%) for covered units and requires just cause for evictions after 12 months of tenancy.
Elk Grove has not adopted a local rent control ordinance, so the only rent cap is the statewide Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482, Civil Code §§1946.2 and 1947.12). AB 1482 caps annual rent increases for covered rental units at 5% plus regional CPI, with an absolute maximum of 10% per year. It also requires 'just cause' to terminate a tenancy after 12 months of continuous occupancy, including at-fault reasons (nonpayment, lease violations) and no-fault reasons (owner move-in, withdrawal from market, substantial remodel) that trigger relocation-assistance payments. AB 1482 exempts single-family homes and condos owned by individuals (not corporations/LLCs) with proper notice, new construction less than 15 years old, and certain owner-occupied duplexes. Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (Civil Code §1954.50) preempts vacancy control and protects single-family/condo exemption.
