Check a residential rent-increase notice against the statutory cap

Key facts

Human involvement: YellowClose supervision
How AI is used: Table the rent charged in the prior 12 months, any discount or concession the lease lists separately, the proposed rent, the date of the notice, and how many increases the same tenant has already had in that 12 months. Do not calculate the cap and do not write the reply. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, California.
What the lawyer must review: California Civil Code § 1947.12(a) limits an increase over 12 months to 5 percent plus the percentage change in the cost of living, or 10 percent, whichever is lower, measured from the lowest gross rental rate in the prior 12 months. Discounts accepted by the tenant are excluded from that lowest rate, and the gross rate and the discounts must be listed separately in the lease. The same tenant may not have more than two increments in 12 months. You apply the exemptions, the local CPI the section names, and Civil Code § 827, which was not opened here. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, California.
