Renters in Los Angeles and Orange counties finally experience some relief from hefty rent hikes! As of August 1, the maximum allowable rent increase under California's Tenant Protection Act will drop from 10% to 8.8%.

The allowable rent hikes are tied to inflation rates, with the past year witnessing the 10% limit due to higher inflation figures. However, the recent lower inflation numbers will result in a more moderate 8.8% rent hike limit in L.A. and Orange counties until July 31, 2024.
