Attention: Anti-Price Gouging rules are in effect in many jurisdictions throughout the state, including San Diego. When these rules are in effect, rent increases are limited to no more than 10% of the previously charged or advertised price. This is particularly important to AB 1482-exempt properties and newly created tenancies. Please refer to the Office of Emergency Services website for more information.

Effective January 1, 2020, AB 1482 limits how much a property owner or manager can increase their rent in a 12-month period.
Rent increases in any 12-month period are limited to 5% (percent) plus the change in inflation from April 1 of the prior year to April of the current year, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the area which the property is located. Some regions do not have a United States Bureau of Labor Statistics report, in which case the California CPI is used (i.e. Imperial County). You can expect the percentage to change each year in April. The exact date will depend on when the relevant reports are published.
For rent increases that take effect before August 1 of any calendar year, the following shall apply:
For rent increases that take effect on or after August 1 of any calendar year, the following shall apply:
