Rent control rules in Folsom, CA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Folsom has no local rent control ordinance. California AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019) caps annual rent increases at 5% + local CPI (max 10%) and requires just cause for eviction on most rental housing in Folsom. Single-family homes owned by non-corporate landlords are generally exempt.
Folsom has not adopted a local rent control ordinance. State law AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019, Civil Code §1946.2 and §1947.12) is the controlling rent regulation. AB 1482 caps annual rent increases at 5% plus the local Consumer Price Index change, not to exceed 10% total, for covered units. AB 1482 covers most multifamily buildings over 15 years old and corporate-owned single-family homes. Exempt units include single-family homes and condos owned by individuals or family trusts (not LLCs or corporations) when proper disclosure is given, owner-occupied duplexes, and housing built within the last 15 years (rolling). AB 1482 also imposes just-cause eviction protections after a tenant has lived in the unit for 12 months — terminations require either at-fault or specified no-fault grounds with relocation assistance. Local Costa-Hawkins Act (Civil Code §1954.50) also limits the scope of any future rent control Folsom might adopt.
