Overview
This bill modifies existing California law regarding tenant rights and rent increases. It removes an exemption that allowed landlords to continue renting mobile homes at lower rates, effectively requiring them to comply with standard rent control rules. Additionally, it reduces the permissible amount landlords can increase rents, limiting increases to 2% plus the cost of living or 5%, whichever is lower. The bill also extends existing provisions related to initial rental rates for affordable housing developments, removing a repeal date.
