Housing

The Tenant Protection Act limits the amount that a landlord can increase rent for many renters in California. Landlords in covered housing cannot increase rent more than twice every 12 months. And the total increase in a 12-month period cannot exceed the change in cost of living (called “CPI”) + 5%, or 10%, whichever is less. As of August 1, 2025, the limit on rent increases for most counties in Northern California is 7.7%
