As of yesterday, September 11th 2019, the State Assembly of California approved Assembly Bill 1482 which if signed by Governor Gavin Newsome would bar landlords from hiking rents more than 5 percent, plus local inflation , in one year. This means that California is on the verge of having statewide rent control. Gov. Newsome has said they he will sign the bill which will go into effect on Jan. 1st through year 2030.
This will affect cities that don’t have rent control bills and also expand rent control in those that do. The bill is designed to keep renters in their homes after rents have risen so much in recent years along with help prevent “rent gauging” which has been a big problem in some areas.
While this measure will likely help renters it will also stymie construction of new housing which we definitely need more of especially with our already low inventory in most areas. Keep in mind the bill does not apply to buildings that opened in the last 15 years and it would exempt Single Family Homes unless they’re owned by a corporation and duplexes where the owner lives in one of the units.
