Annual Rent Increase
The annual CPI increase rate effective July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 is 3.2%. July 1, 2008 is the earliest date that rents can be increased at this rate. Tenants may only be given one increase in any 12-month period, and the rent increase cannot take effect earlier than the tenant's Anniversary Date. In addition, California law requires that tenants be provided with either 30 days (for increases 10% or less) or 60 days (for increases greater than 10%) written advance notice of a rent increase.
The allowable annual rent increase for the previous fiscal year (July 1, 2007-June 30, 2008) was 3.3%. Please read the Rent Adjustment Ordinance for more details.
