The Rent Cap

City of Commerce · Los Angeles County

Commerce has its own rent ordinance

Commerce is one of the LA County cities with a local rent ordinance, so the statewide 8.7% cap is not the number to use. We haven't verified Commerce's rules yet, so this page only reports what the state's official chart says.

What the state's chart lists

3.7% for Jul 1, 2026 – Jun 30, 2027. Uses the same formula as the Tenant Protection Act for the LA area; may be taken in two increments.

Coverage, exemptions, and how the increase is calculated are set by the city's ordinance. Check with Commerce's rent program before raising rent.

We couldn't find the City of Commerce's own rent page. The state's chart lists 3.7% for July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027; confirm with the city.

The calculator on this page won't produce a number for Commerce until we've verified the ordinance against the city's own text.

Check the address first. The city in a mailing address isn't always the city that governs the property, and boundaries change through annexation. Unincorporated areas follow County rules, where older buildings with 2+ units have a 1.919% cap.

How much notice to give

Under Civil Code 827, give at least 30 days' notice if the increase, together with any others in the past 12 months, is 10% or less. Above 10%, give 90 days.
