Rent control rules in Rancho Cordova, CA — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Rancho Cordova has no local rent control. California AB 1482 applies statewide, limiting annual rent increases to 5 percent plus regional CPI (max 10 percent) and requiring just cause for eviction.
California Civil Code §1946.2 and §1947.12 (AB 1482) impose statewide rent increase caps and just cause eviction rules on most rental properties built over 15 years ago. Annual rent increases are limited to 5 percent plus the regional CPI, not to exceed 10 percent total. For Sacramento-area renters including Rancho Cordova, the applicable CPI is the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward MSA figure published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Exemptions include single-family homes owned by non-corporate landlords (with proper notice), new construction under 15 years old, and owner-occupied duplexes. Just cause eviction applies after 12 months of tenancy. Rancho Cordova has not adopted a local rent control ordinance beyond AB 1482, so no rent board exists.
