Rent control rules in Livermore, CA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Livermore has NO local rent control ordinance; only statewide AB 1482 Tenant Protection Act applies, capping annual increases at CPI+5% up to 10%.
Livermore has not adopted a local rent control or rent stabilization ordinance. Rental housing is governed exclusively by California's AB 1482 (Tenant Protection Act of 2019), which caps annual rent increases at 5% plus local CPI (max 10% total) for covered units and requires just cause for eviction after 12 months of tenancy. AB 1482 exempts single-family homes (unless owned by corporations/REITs), condos sold separately, and housing built within the last 15 years (rolling). Costa-Hawkins Act (CA Civil Code §1954.50+) preempts local vacancy control.
AB 1482 violations: tenant can recover 3x actual damages plus attorney fees in civil action.
