What the state's chart lists
2.25% for Sep 1, 2025 – Aug 31, 2026. Landlords who provide gas and electric may increase further.
Coverage, exemptions, and how the increase is calculated are set by the city's ordinance. Check with West Hollywood's rent program before raising rent.
West Hollywood allows one increase a year for registered units, effective September 1, set at 75% of local inflation. We haven't confirmed the rate for September 2026 – August 2027, so check with the city.
The calculator on this page won't produce a number for West Hollywood 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.
