Current official-source position
What an owner should understand first.
The City says covered rental units must be registered before a rent increase is imposed and publishes an annual cap formula based on 50% of CPI or 4%, whichever is less. Owners should use the City’s current page, not an old article or remembered percentage, to verify the posted limit, fees, exemptions, and forms.
Local rental registration is part of compliance
The City publishes its current allowable increase and program forms
Local tenant eviction protections operate in addition to state law
The program includes owner petition and capital-improvement processes
Before changing a tenancy
