In plain words

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

Rent increases

Applies. Eligible landlords may raise 2025 permanent rent ceilings by 1.0% no earlier than January 1, 2026. The adjustment cannot raise rent for tenancies that began on or after January 1, 2025 and had rent set under Costa-Hawkins. (Berkeley Municipal Code § 13.76.110(A); Rent Board Regulation 1148)

Depends on: first certificate-of-occupancy date, whether the owner lives in the building, Shared kitchen or bath, One unit is an ADU; tenancy started after Nov 7, 2018. Landlords of fully covered Berkeley units may raise rent each year only by the Annual General Adjustment set by the Rent Board, which can never exceed 5%. Government-owned or subsidized units must now be registered and, if fully covered, are subject to the rent ceiling. (Berkeley Rent Stabilization Ordinance (Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 13.76), as amended by Measure BB (Nov. 2024))

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: whether the owner lives in the building, Shared kitchen or bath, One unit is an ADU; tenancy started after Nov 7, 2018. Owners who evict a tenant for an owner move-in must pay the tenant relocation assistance. For 2026 the standard payment is $19,413, with an additional $6,471 for qualifying households, adjusted each year for inflation. (Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 13.76 (Rent Stabilization and Good Cause for Eviction Ordinance))

Depends on: whether the owner lives in the building, Shared kitchen or bath, One unit is an ADU; tenancy started after Nov 7, 2018, 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)

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)

Depends on: Unit is fully or partially covered by Berkeley's Rent Ordinance. If your unit is fully or partially covered by Berkeley's Rent Ordinance, your landlord must pay you interest on your security deposit at the end of each year, and a prorated amount if you move out before year end. (Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 7.56)

Application fees

Applies. Landlords who charge a screening fee must give a screening fee rights statement and the state fee cap before taking the fee. They cannot charge existing tenants a non-refundable fee to renew a tenancy or to add, replace or remove a roommate. (BMC ch. 13.78 (§§ 13.78.010, 13.78.016, 13.78.018))

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. Berkeley landlords may not ask about or use criminal history in advertising, applications, tenant selection or decisions, and must give written notice and a chance to respond before acting on criminal history. (Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 13.106)

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))

Depends on: exact effective date of Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 13.63, § 13.63.030 (Ordinance No. 7,992-N.S.) (2026-01). Landlords may not use, and vendors may not sell or provide, coordinated pricing algorithms that use nonpublic competitor data to set or recommend rents or occupancy levels for Berkeley residential units. Each month and each unit is a separate violation. (Berkeley Municipal Code ch. 13.63, § 13.63.030 (Ordinance No. 7,992-N.S.))

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.

Key value 1 month's rent maximum (2 months for small landlords)

Statewide CA rule; in force (effective 2024-07-01). Coverage conditions are met on the supplied facts.

Document shows the section as last amended by Stats. 2025, ch. 340 (AB 414), effective January 1, 2026; the July 1, 2024 date comes from subdivision (c)(6). No local-law interaction is stated.

Exemptions in the law: Advance payment of six months' rent or more allowed if lease term is six months or longer; mutual agreement for tenant-requested alterations for a specified fee. Small-landlord two-month cap does not apply if the prospective tenant is a service member.

Landlords who charge a screening fee must give a screening fee rights statement and the state fee cap before taking the fee. They cannot charge existing tenants a non-refundable fee to renew a tenancy or to add, replace or remove a roommate.
