Frequently asked questions

Rent Control Questions We Hear Often

As a landlord, how do I confirm compliance before raising rent?
Confirm whether your property is covered by local or state rent control, and check the current allowable increase amount and notice period — these figures update periodically, so don't rely on a number from a year or two ago.
Does Glendale have its own rent control ordinance?
Yes. Glendale has local tenant protections, including rent increase limits and just-cause eviction requirements for many rental units, in addition to California's statewide Tenant Protection Act.
What is a just-cause eviction requirement?
Just-cause rules require a landlord to have a legally recognized reason — nonpayment, lease violation, owner move-in — to end a tenancy, rather than simply declining to renew at lease end.
How do I know if my rental unit is covered by rent control?
Coverage typically depends on the building's age, unit type, and certain exemptions such as single-family homes or newer construction. Worth confirming directly rather than assuming either way.
