In plain words

What this means for a renter at this address on 2026-01-02.

Rent increases

Depends on: first certificate-of-occupancy date. Over any 12-month period, a landlord cannot raise rent by more than 5% plus the local cost-of-living change, or 10%, whichever is lower. Rent can be raised at most twice in 12 months for the same tenant, and the landlord may set any starting rent for a new tenancy. (Cal. Civ. Code § 1947.12)

Eviction protection

Depends on: first certificate-of-occupancy date. After you have lived in your home continuously and lawfully for 12 months, your landlord can end your tenancy only for a listed at-fault or no-fault just cause stated in the written notice. For no-fault terminations the landlord must pay one month's rent as relocation assistance within 15 days of the notice or waive the final month's rent. (Cal. Civ. Code § 1946.2)

Depends on: first certificate-of-occupancy date. A landlord may not terminate a tenancy without just cause (at-fault or no-fault). For no-fault terminations the landlord must give notice, pay relocation assistance of two months' rent (three months if tenant is a senior or disabled) or waive that rent, and offer the unit back in certain cases. (San Diego Municipal Code §§ 98.0701–98.0710)

Security deposit

Applies. A landlord cannot demand or receive security (deposit, fee or charge) above one month's rent, in addition to first month's rent. Small landlords (natural persons or all-natural-person LLCs owning no more than two properties with four units total) may charge up to two months' rent, but not to service members. (Cal. Civ. Code § 1950.5)

Application fees

Applies. A landlord may charge an application screening fee of no more than $30 per applicant (adjusted for CPI since 1998), and never more than actual out-of-pocket costs and time spent. No fee may be charged if no unit is available or will be soon, and the landlord must give an itemized receipt and follow first-come screening or refund rules. (Cal. Civ. Code § 1950.6)

Tenant screening

Applies. Landlords may not discriminate against applicants or tenants because of their source of income, including Section 8 vouchers and other government subsidies. Where a government rent subsidy applies, income standards must be based on the portion of rent the tenant pays, and applicants with credit history screening must be allowed to offer alternative evidence of ability to pay. Landlords may still ask about the level or source of income. (Cal. Gov. Code § 12955)

Rent-pricing software

Applies. It is unlawful to use or distribute a common pricing algorithm as part of a contract, combination or conspiracy to restrain trade, or to coerce another person to adopt prices or commercial terms recommended by such an algorithm. A common pricing algorithm is software or other methodology used by two or more persons that uses competitor data to recommend or influence a price. (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 16729 (added by Stats. 2025, ch. 338, A.B. 325))

Applies. Landlords may not use algorithmic software that relies on nonpublic competitor data to set rents or occupancy levels, and no one may sell or license such software to a landlord. Tenants can sue for injunctive relief, damages or civil penalties. (S.D. Mun. Code §§ 98.1101–98.1104 (proposed Div. 11, Ch. 9, Art. 8; O-2025-107))
