Rent control rules in San Leandro, CA β also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances β limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
San Leandro adopted a local Rent Review Ordinance in 2020 for mediation. AB 1482 statewide rent cap also applies: CPI+5%, max 10% annually, just cause eviction.
San Leandro does not have traditional rent control but adopted a Rent Review Ordinance in 2020 (SLMC Title 4) that requires landlords to participate in mediation for above-threshold rent increases on covered units. California AB 1482 (Civ Code Β§1946.2 and Β§1947.12), the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, provides a statewide cap of 5% plus local CPI, not to exceed 10% per year, on qualifying properties older than 15 years. Just-cause eviction protections also apply after 12 months of tenancy. Single-family homes (if not corporate-owned) and condos owned by non-entities are exempt from AB 1482. The Rent Review Ordinance is extended periodically; check current city status.
Over-cap increase is void. Tenants may recover rent plus damages. Improper eviction: wrongful eviction damages.
