During the first half of 2019, the California Apartment Association fought a deluge of negative rental housing legislation, from statewide rent control to authorized rent strikes.
Below we summarize some of the worst bills of the year and update their status in the Legislature. Let’s start with some of the worst legislative proposals stopped by CAA.
Registration is CLOSED!

In addition, attendees will receive copies of the CAA Issue Insights, another member benefit, on these three topics. If you do not currently have the CAA Helpline, feel free to call our Member Services department at (800) 967-4222 to find out more information on how to upgrade… Read More

landlords consider for tenancy all applicants with the ability to pay for a

A cap on rent increases in the city of Vallejo will remain in effect for at least a few more weeks – and possibly much longer.
During a special meeting July 3, the City Council declared a local emergency that triggered protections against price gouging under state law. Once activated, the state’s anti-price-gouging law prohibits price increases over 10% for many consumer goods and services, including rental housing, for 30 days following the declaration.
This month’s earthquakes in Southern California have
prompted new protections against rent-gouging.
The protections, which cap rent increases at 10%, are tied to states of emergency declared last week by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A bill that would impose rent control and “just cause” eviction policies statewide won passage Tuesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The legislation advanced on a 6-1 vote with one abstention. It now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee, its last stop before the Senate floor.
The bill would cap annual rent increases at 7% plus the consumer price index — the same formula adopted earlier this year in Oregon. The bill would apply to nearly all of California’s rental housing stock, including apartments and some single-family homes, and it would apply in jurisdictions where voters and local elected leaders… Read More
A bill that would bring statewide rent control to California
now also threatens to impose “just cause” for eviction policies.
Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, incorporated
eviction controls into Assembly Bill 1482 this past Friday.

The move effectively resuscitates AB 1481, a “just cause” bill that died on the Assembly floor.
