Long Beach Rent Cap Rules
Long Beach does not have a local rent control ordinance that caps rent increases. Instead, it relies on the statewide AB 1482 cap of 8.7% (5% + 3.7% CPI for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area). This is the same CPI region used for the City of Los Angeles and Anaheim.
However, Long Beach does have a Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO) that requires landlords to provide relocation assistance payments to tenants displaced by no-fault evictions. While the TRAO does not limit rent increases directly, it provides financial protections for tenants who are priced out.
Long Beach voters rejected a rent control ballot measure in 2018 (Measure MM), and no new rent control proposals have advanced as of 2026. The city continues to rely on AB 1482 as the primary rent cap mechanism.
