The rules in full
Statewide cap
No statewide residential rent increase cap found.
Written notice
No rent-increase notice statute. Default: month-to-month lease ends by notice given at least 10 days before the end of the month (secondary: some bills proposed 30 days for residential; not confirmed enacted).
In a month-to-month lease, ten calendar days before the end of that month
Local rent control
Lessor rights granted by Civil Code lease title 'shall not be altered, abridged or diminished except by state law' (subject to police power). Verified text via Justia 2025, but it is a general lessor-rights statute, not an express rent-control ban; preemptive effect is an interpretation. Secondary sources disagree on whether any express ban exists.
