Rent Increase
If you have a lease for more than 30 days, your rent cannot be increased during the term of the lease, unless the lease allows rent increases.
If you have a periodic rental agreement, your landlord can increase your rent, but the landlord must give you proper advance notice in writing. the written notice tells you how much the increased rent is and when the increase goes into effect.
California law guarantees you at least 30 days’ advance written notice of a rent increase if you have a month-to-month (or shorter) periodic rental agreement.
Under the law, your landlord must give you at least 30 days’ advance notice if the rent increase is 10 percent (or less) of the rent charged at any time during the 12 months before the rent increase takes effect. Your landlord must give you at least 60 days’ advance notice if the rent increase is greater than 10 percent.113 In order to calculate the percentage of the rent increase, you need to know the lowest rent that your landlord charged you during the preceding 12 months, and the total of the new increase and all other increases during that period.
113 Civil Code Section 827(b).
