{ "name": "US rent increase caps by city", "description": "The legal maximum annual rent increase in 70 US cities, counties, states and districts, compiled by Rent Cap Ledger from official government sources: rent boards, housing departments, agency notices and the laws themselves. Each row gives the current cap (percent), every option where the cap varies by region or unit type, the dates the figure applies, how it is calculated, when the next figure is due, and the day we last checked it. Provenance columns give the official source URL, title, publisher, fetch date and the verbatim text the figure was copied from. 54 figures are confirmed against a current official source, 14 places have no rent cap (listed for completeness), and the rest are marked unconfirmed rather than estimated. Covers California (AB 1482 and local ordinances such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland), Oregon, Washington, New York City, Washington DC, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Maine and more. Caps apply to covered units only; this is not legal advice.", "url": "https://allowedrent.com/data/", "creator": "Rent Cap Ledger", "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "license_name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)", "attribution": "Rent Cap Ledger (allowedrent.com)", "date_modified": "2026-10-18", "columns": { "slug": "Our identifier for the jurisdiction (also its page: allowedrent.com//)", "jurisdiction": "Jurisdiction name", "place": "Place name", "state": "State or district (USPS code)", "kind": "Type of rule (state law, city ordinance, no rent cap, ...)", "program": "Law or program", "agency": "Agency that publishes the figure", "status": "confirmed = current official figure read from the source; unconfirmed = we couldn't read a current figure (cap_pct blank); nocap = no rent-increase cap", "cap_pct": "Current maximum annual increase in percent (the highest option where it varies; blank if unconfirmed or no cap)", "cap_display": "The cap as shown on our site", "cap_options": "All options where the cap varies by region, unit type or date (label: percent; ...)", "formula": "How the cap is set", "period_start": "First day the current figure applies (YYYY-MM-DD)", "period_end": "Last day it applies", "next_change": "Date the next figure is due, if scheduled", "last_checked": "Date we last fetched the official source (Pacific time)", "page_url": "Our page with exemptions, history and a calculator", "source_url": "Official source for the headline figure", "source_title": "Title of that source", "source_publisher": "Publisher of that source", "source_fetched": "Date we fetched that source", "source_quote": "Verbatim text we copied from that source", "all_source_urls": "Every official source we used for this jurisdiction (space-separated)" }, "rows": [ { "slug": "california", "jurisdiction": "California (statewide, AB 1482)", "place": "California", "state": "CA", "kind": "State law", "program": "Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482), Civil Code § 1947.12", "agency": "California Attorney General (informational chart)", "status": "confirmed", "cap_pct": 8.8, "cap_display": "8.1–8.8%", "cap_options": "Los Angeles Area (Los Angeles & Orange counties): 8.7%; Riverside Area (Riverside & San Bernardino counties): 8.1%; San Diego Area (San Diego County): 8.2%; San Francisco Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo): 8.8%; All other counties: 8.6%", "formula": "5% + regional CPI (April to April), capped at 10%", "period_start": "2026-08-01", "period_end": "2027-07-31", "next_change": "2027-08-01", "last_checked": "2026-10-17", "page_url": "https://allowedrent.com/california/", "source_url": "https://oag.ca.gov/rentcaps", "source_title": "Limits on Rent Increases", "source_publisher": "State of California, Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General", "source_fetched": "2026-10-17", "source_quote": "Los Angeles Area: Los Angeles County Orange County 8% 8.7% Riverside Area: Riverside County San Bernardino County 7.5% 8.1% San Diego Area: San Diego County 8.8% 8.2% San Francisco Area: Alameda County Contra Costa County Marin County San Francisco County San Mateo County 6.3% 8.8% All Other Counties 7.7% 8.6%", "all_source_urls": "https://oag.ca.gov/rentcaps https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=827 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=1947.12", "sources": [ { "url": "https://oag.ca.gov/rentcaps", "title": "Limits on Rent Increases", "publisher": "State of California, Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General", "fetched": "2026-10-17", "supports": "headline", "quote": "Los Angeles Area: Los Angeles County Orange County 8% 8.7% Riverside Area: Riverside County San Bernardino County 7.5% 8.1% San Diego Area: San Diego County 8.8% 8.2% San Francisco Area: Alameda County Contra Costa County Marin County San Francisco County San Mateo County 6.3% 8.8% All Other Counties 7.7% 8.6%" }, { "url": "https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=827", "title": "Civil Code § 827 (notice of rent increase)", "publisher": "California Legislative Information", "fetched": "2026-10-18", "supports": "notice", "quote": "the notice shall be delivered at least 30 days before the effective date of the increase" }, { "url": "https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CIV§ionNum=1947.12", "title": "Civil Code § 1947.12 (Tenant Protection Act rent cap)", "publisher": "California Legislative Information", "fetched": "2026-10-18", "supports": "exemptions", "quote": "Housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years, unless the housing is a mobilehome." } ] }, { "slug": "los-angeles", "jurisdiction": "Los Angeles (RSO)", "place": "the City of Los Angeles", "state": "CA", "kind": "City ordinance", "program": "Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), L.A.
