May 14, 2025 – California Apartment Association (CAA)
The California Apartment Association today published Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for four metropolitan areas – Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and San Francisco – in California. These figures govern the maximum allowable rent increases effective on or after Aug. 1, 2025, for units subject to AB 1482 rent caps in 10 counties across the state.
| County where property is located | 2025 CPI increase | AB 1482 allowable increase (CPI + 5%) |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles or Orange | 3% | 8% |
| Riverside or San Bernardino | 2.5% | 7.5% |
| San Diego | 3.8% | 8.8% |
| Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, or San Mateo | 1.3% | 6.3% |
The California Consumer Price Index, which governs the allowable rent increases effective on or after Aug. 1, 2025, for units subject to AB 1482 rent caps in the rest of the state, including in Sacramento and Fresno counties, has not yet been published. That figure is not expected to be available from the California Department of Industrial Relations until mid-June.
The CAA Regional CPI Calculator will be updated once all CPI figures are available.
These figures should not be used to calculate the maximum allowable increase under any local rent control ordinance, as those laws may use a different CPI figure than the CPI figure applicable to AB 1482 increases.
