Camarillo, CA Rental Property Rules: Rent Increase Notice (2026)

040(A) requires owners to "distribute a notice of the availability of the landlord/tenant mediation forum provided by the city with every rent increase to existing tenants with an eligible lease," using substantially the form set out in the code: a statement that the city has a landlord/tenant mediation chapter providing a voluntary, non-binding forum to review rent increases, and directing tenants to City Hall at 601 Carmen Drive or the city's website for copies. Subsection B additionally requires owners to post the same notice, at least eight by ten inches, in the on-site management office or another publicly accessible location if there is no management office.

020 means a month-to-month tenancy, a lease of twelve months or less, or a multi-year lease where the renewal rent is not already fixed, and the chapter applies to "residential rental complexes" of five or more units and to mobile home parks. 050 lets a tenant file a request for mediation with the city clerk within thirty calendar days of receiving the rent increase notice; if the increase affects twenty-five percent or more of tenants on eligible leases, at least five similarly situated tenants must join the request. 5(c), prohibiting retaliation against tenants who use the process.
