Reminder! 10% Rent Cap in Effect as Storms Trigger Emergency & Price Gouging Rules
Governor Newsom declared a State of Emergency due to winter storms. The statewide emergency is slated to be in effect through February 3, 2023. Price Gouging rules specific to rental housing are specifically included. Rent Increases and newly set rents will be limited to no more than 10% until the protections expire. Click here to visit the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services website and learn more about price gouging protections.
