Lesser of 3% or 60% of CPI, recomputed every two months. 2.04% for increases effective Sep 14 to Nov 10, 2026, one increase per 12 months. Multi-unit buildings with a certificate of occupancy before Feb 1, 1995. Single-family homes and condos are exempt from the city cap; state law then applies, 8.8% this year unless the lease carries the AB 1482 exemption notice.
// the rulebook
Antioch caps rent increases on covered units at the lesser of 3% or 60% of CPI, recomputed with every bimonthly CPI release, so the number moves: 2.04% for increases effective Sep 14 to Nov 10, 2026, one increase per 12 months. The Rent Stabilization Ordinance has been in force since Nov 11, 2022 and covers multi-unit buildings with a certificate of occupancy before Feb 1, 1995; single-family homes and condos are exempt from the cap but not from the rest of the rulebook. Just cause applies from day one of tenancy under the Sep 2024 ordinance, with no-fault relocation of two months' rent plus a third month for households with a minor, a member 60 or older, low income or a disability. An owner move-in must happen within 90 days and last two years, with a 24-month right of return. The city has adopted a rental registry, and an unregistered unit cannot take an increase. Rents are the lowest in this guide, $2,156 median and $3,200 for a house, and many owners live out of the area. We register every unit, compute each increase against the current bimonthly figure, and file notices so they hold.
// what owners run into
Antioch recomputes the allowable increase with each bimonthly CPI release, 2.04% for notices effective Sep 14 to Nov 10, 2026. An increase served against last period's number is defective, and you get one increase per 12 months to get it right.
The city has adopted a rental registry, and an unregistered unit cannot take an increase at all. For an out-of-area owner who missed the notice, that is a 0% year on a $2,038 two-bedroom instead of 2.04%.
Just cause attaches from the first day of tenancy, and a no-fault termination owes two months' rent, three for a household with a minor, a member 60 or older, low income or a disability. On a $3,200 house that is $6,400 to $9,600 before the unit is even vacant.

Yes, since Nov 11, 2022. Increases on multi-unit buildings with a certificate of occupancy before Feb 1, 1995 are capped at the lesser of 3% or 60% of CPI, recomputed every two months. The figure for increases effective Sep 14 to Nov 10, 2026 is 2.04%, and you may raise once per 12 months.
No. Houses and condos are exempt from the city cap. State law applies instead: 8.8% for Aug 2026 to Jul 2027, or no cap if you own the house as an individual and the lease carries the AB 1482 exemption notice. The city's just-cause rules, relocation payments and registry are a separate question, and we confirm how they treat a house with the city before serving any notice.
Two months' rent, plus a third month if the household includes a minor, a member 60 or older, a low-income tenant or a person with a disability. For an owner move-in, the occupant must move in within 90 days and stay two years, and the displaced tenant holds a 24-month right of return.
