[CA] I want to make sure that I am following California law regarding rent increases. I own a home in Ione, CA, Amador County. I do not believe it is on the list for rent control areas in California.
I want to make sure that I am following California law regarding rent increases. I own a home in Ione, CA, Amador County. I do not believe it is on the list for rent control areas in California.
I read AB 1482, which indicates you can raise the rent to a maximum of 10% or 5% plus the cost of living basis, which in my area would be 8% if you give 30 days’ notice.
However, I am giving 90 days’ notice and intend to raise the rent from $1,200.00 to $1,850.00 per month.

If your property type falls within the confines of AB 1482, then you can increase the rent.
Month-to-month rent increases on residential properties in California subject to AB 1482 are covered by the same provisions as annual leases, whichever is lower:
- 5% + average percentage increase in CPI
- 10% of the lowest gross rate in the past 12 months
The minimum notice requirements are as follows:
A written notice specifying the amount, reason, and effective date of the increase must be sent to tenants within this timeframe:
- 30 days for increases of 10% or less
- 60 days for increases above 10%
You can always give more notice. So, the 90 days’ notice is acceptable.

Let me see if I can assist. My name is Lori, and I am on live with you today. This is not an automated response.
I am an attorney expert with over 25 years’ experience. Please be patient if I do not respond right away, as I may be typing my responses or working on another customer’s answer.
Lori
Are you renting the home now? Are you seeking to increase the rent on the current tenant?
Yes, I am renting the home now, and the lease expired in June of 2024, so it has been month-to-month for the last 6 months.
I have been helping the family with a rent amount that is half the average rent in that area… but now, with the incredible cost for fire insurance, I cannot do that anymore.
Lori
Understood. Thanks for the information. Please give me some time to review/do some research and to draft my personalized response. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Okay, thanks :-)

I see, so with my notice of 90 days and it being month-to-month currently, I would be considered within the law for this increase, correct?

Wonderful, thanks so much, Lori!
