May 12, 2026 – California Apartment Association (CAA)
The California Apartment Association today published Consumer Price Index figures for four metropolitan areas in California. These figures govern the maximum allowable rent increases effective on or after Aug. 1, 2026, for covered units subject to AB 1482 rent caps in 10 counties.
For the rest of the state, including Sacramento and Fresno counties, the California Consumer Price Index has not yet been published. That figure is expected to be available from the California Department of Industrial Relations in 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.
