SB 1482

SB 1482 is a California law that limits how much landlords can increase rent and restricts evictions. It caps annual rent hikes at 5% plus inflation, with a maximum of 10%, whichever is lower. The law also requires landlords to give proper notice before raising rent or ending a tenancy, and it restricts evictions without just cause. These protections aim to help tenants stay in their homes and prevent sudden, unaffordable rent increases, while still allowing landlords to maintain their properties within certain limits.
