Rent Control & Compliance in Long Beach
Long Beach has local rent control in addition to California’s statewide AB 1482. The Long Beach Tenant Protection Ordinance adds specific requirements that landlords must track.
Long Beach has a Tenant Protection Ordinance that provides just cause eviction protections and relocation assistance requirements for covered units. Rent increases follow AB 1482 statewide caps (5% + CPI or 10%). Some older units may have additional protections under the city’s housing code.
LeaseBase tracks both Long Beach’s local rent control rules and statewide AB 1482 requirements, calculating your maximum allowable increase based on the more restrictive of the two. Most national property management software treats all California properties the same — Long Beach requires specialized tracking.
