Sacramento Rent Cap Rules
Sacramento does not have its own local rent control ordinance. Landlords in the city and greater Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom metro area are governed exclusively by AB 1482, the statewide Tenant Protection Act. The current cap is 7.6% (5% + 2.6% regional CPI for the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom area).
This means Sacramento landlords can raise rent up to 7.6% per year on covered properties without triggering any local restrictions. However, just cause eviction protections under AB 1482 still apply to tenants who have occupied their unit for 12 months or more.
The Sacramento City Council has considered rent stabilization measures in past sessions, but no local ordinance has been enacted as of 2026. Landlords should monitor city council activity for any future changes.
