## Common Questions

**Q: What is the Oakland allowable rent increase for 2026?**
A: 2.3%, effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027. The Oakland Rent Adjustment Program (RAP) sets this rate at 60% of CPI (capped at 3%). This applies to rent-stabilized units under the Oakland Rent Adjustment Ordinance (O.M.C. 8.22.020 et seq.). It does not apply to units exempt from Oakland rent stabilization or to AB 1482-only units (which use a separate CPI-based calculation). The prior period (August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026) was 0.8%.

**Q: What is the Berkeley allowable rent increase for 2026?**
A: 1.0%. The Berkeley Rent Board set the 2026 Annual General Adjustment (AGA) at 1.0%, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Berkeley runs on a calendar-year cycle (not the August–July cycle used by Oakland and AB 1482) and uses a different CPI region and lookback window. Applies to Berkeley rent-stabilized units under the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Ordinance (BMC Chapter 13.76).

**Q: What is the Richmond allowable rent increase for 2026?**
A: 1.5%, for tenancies commencing before September 1, 2025, effective September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 (Richmond Rent Program Regulation 615). The rate is 60% of CPI, capped at 3%, post-Measure P. Banked (deferred) increases allow up to 6.5% in a single year, per Regulation 602's banking limit.

**Q: What is the statewide AB 1482 rent cap for 2026?**
A: 8.8%, effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027 (5% + regional CPI, under Civil Code §1947.12's 10% hard cap). This applies statewide for units covered by Civil Code §1947.12, including Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. AB 1482 has its own statutory exemptions, so exemption from a local rent-control program does not automatically establish AB 1482 coverage. Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond also impose separate local limits on units covered by their respective programs. The prior period (August 1, 2025 – July 31, 2026) was 6.3%.

**Q: What is the Oakland nonpayment eviction threshold?**
A: Under Oakland's Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance (OMC 8.22.360), a nonpayment eviction notice is only valid if the tenant's unpaid balance equals or exceeds one month of HUD Fair Market Rent for the unit's bedroom size in the Oakland-Fremont metro area — not the tenant's actual contract rent. FY 2027 FMR thresholds (effective October 1, 2026): Studio $2,088 | 1BR $2,290 | 2BR $2,805 | 3BR $3,592 | 4BR $4,250. Through September 30, 2026 (FY 2026): Studio $2,142 | 1BR $2,385 | 2BR $2,912 | 3BR $3,724 | 4BR $4,413.

**Q: Does Oakland just cause eviction apply to single-family homes?**
A: Yes, as of Measure V (November 2022). Most Oakland rental units are covered, including single-family homes, condos, ADUs, and RVs built more than 10 years ago. Key exemptions: units where the owner shares a kitchen or bathroom with the tenant; units with a Certificate of Occupancy issued within the last 10 years (rolling window).

**Q: What is AB 1482?**
A: California's Tenant Protection Act of 2019. Statewide law that caps annual rent increases at 5% + local CPI (max 10%) for covered units, and requires just cause for eviction after 12 months of tenancy. Oakland and Berkeley local ordinances are stricter and take precedence for most units in those cities.

**Q: What is the California security deposit limit?**
A: As of July 1, 2024 (AB 12), California landlords may collect a maximum of one month's rent as a security deposit, regardless of whether the unit is furnished. Prior law allowed two months (unfurnished) or three months (furnished). Small landlord exemptions apply in limited circumstances.

## HUD Fair Market Rents & Income Limits

**Area:** Oakland-Fremont, CA HUD Metro FMR Area
**Effective:** October 1, 2026 (FY 2027). Updates annually each October.
**Source:** HUD USER — https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/fmr.html

### FY 2027 Fair Market Rents — Oakland-Fremont Metro

| Unit Size     | FY 2027 FMR (from Oct 1, 2026) | FY 2026 FMR (through Sep 30, 2026) |
|---------------|--------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Efficiency    | $2,088                         | $2,142                             |
| 1-Bedroom     | $2,290                         | $2,385                             |
| 2-Bedroom     | $2,805                         | $2,912                             |
| 3-Bedroom     | $3,592                         | $3,724                             |
| 4-Bedroom     | $4,250                         | $4,413                             |

**Primary use for East Bay landlords:** Oakland's Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance (OMC 8.22.360) requires that unpaid rent equal or exceed one month's HUD FMR for the unit's bedroom size before a nonpayment eviction notice is legally valid. The threshold is based on FMR — not the tenant's actual contract rent. A tenant paying $1,400/month on a 1-bedroom must owe at least $2,290 (from October 1, 2026) before a valid notice can be served. See: https://alleastbayproperties.com/oakland-just-cause-eviction-grounds-2026/

FMR figures are also used as payment standards for Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher participants in the Oakland metro.

### FY 2026 HUD Income Limits — Oakland-Fremont Metro

**Area Median Family Income (MFI):** $162,800

| Income Category         | 1-Person | 2-Person | 3-Person | 4-Person | 5-Person | 6-Person | 7-Person  | 8-Person  |

| Extremely Low (30% AMI) | $35,650  | $40,750  | $45,850  | $50,900  | $55,000  | $59,050  | $63,150   | $67,200   |
| Very Low (50% AMI)      | $59,400  | $67,900  | $76,400  | $84,850  | $91,650  | $98,450  | $105,250  | $112,050  |
| Low (80% AMI)           | $95,050  | $108,600 | $122,200 | $135,750 | $146,650 | $157,500 | $168,350  | $179,200  |

**Note:** Income limits are used to determine eligibility for HUD-assisted housing programs including Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher. They are not directly used in Oakland's rent control or just-cause eviction frameworks but provide context for assessing housing affordability in the East Bay rental market.

**Data currency note:** Fair Market Rents update each October; this file shows FY 2027 FMRs (effective October 1, 2026). The income limits above are the FY 2026 figures; HUD publishes new income limits each spring.
