Rent control / stabilization
Yes. For regulated units, each year the County sets a rent increase allowance equal to the lesser of CPI-U plus 3% or 6%. It applies July 1 through June 30. On a lease renewal or new lease, rent may not exceed the base rent plus the allowance plus any banked amount, and the increase may not exceed 10% of the base rent. Capital-improvement surcharges require the Director's approval.
