Rent control rules in Glendale, CA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Glendale does not have a local rent control cap but enforces the Rental Rights Program (Ord. 5922, updated 2024). CA AB 1482 caps increases at 5% + CPI or 10% max. Rent increases above 7% trigger mandatory relocation fees. 2025 cap is 8% under AB 1482.
Glendale enacted a Rent Stabilization Ordinance in 2019 covering multi-family rental units. Annual rent increases are capped at the lesser of 5% or 60% of CPI. Just cause eviction protections require landlords to have valid reasons for terminating tenancy. Relocation assistance payments are required for no-fault evictions. The Glendale Rent Stabilization Board oversees compliance and handles tenant complaints. Landlords must register units and provide tenants with information about their rights under the ordinance.
Overcharging: tenant may recover excess rent. Non-registration: penalties. Wrongful eviction: relocation assistance required plus potential damages.
