California's Costa-Hawkins rule (summarized by the CA Attorney General): local rent caps do not apply to buildings with a certificate of occupancy issued after February 1, 1995, or to most single-family homes and condos. Those units may still be covered by the statewide AB 1482 cap. Units inside incorporated cities follow that city's rules or the state cap.
The next adjustment takes effect July 1, 2027.
