Allowed Rent Increases, New Regulations, and Housing Help Center











Spring 2026 Newsletter for Fully Covered CSFRA Properties





What is a Covered Unit?

The Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act (CSFRA) provides rent stabilization for most apartment buildings in Mountain View with 3 or more units built before February 1, 1995, and eviction protections for most 3- or more-unit buildings built before December 23, 2016. Check mountainview.gov/rentstabilization [ https://www.mountainview.gov/rentstabilization ] or call 650-903-6136 to get information about your coverage.

2026 Annual General Adjustment 

For fully covered CSFRA properties, rent increases are limited to the Annual General Adjustment (AGA) [ https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/housing/rent-stabilization/rent-and-allowed-rent-increases ], an increase based on the rate of inflation and approved by the Rental Housing Committee (RHC). Landlords may give this annual rent increase from September 1 through August 31 of each year. The 2026 allowed increase is 2.5% and can be given starting September 1, 2026

Anti-Retaliation and Anti-Harassment
Regulations

If your rental unit is covered by the CSFRA, there are rules to protect tenants from
harassment and retaliation by their landlord. These rules support tenants when they
exercise their rights—such as asking for repairs, reporting code violations, or joining
a tenant organization.
CSFRA Regulations prohibit landlords from engaging in certain acts or failing to
perform certain acts in Bad Faith related to a tenancy, such as:


* Threatening to evict a tenant without a lawful reason
* Not making necessary repairs or turning off services like heat, water, or
electricity.
* Entering a tenant’s home without proper notice
* Pressuring a tenant to vacate or relinquish their right.
* Using threatening, intimidating, or unwelcome language
* Threatening to release or releasing a tenant's private information,
including their residence, immigration status, or social security number.

Landlords who violate the CSFRA Regulations may be held liable for damages. If a
landlord harasses or retaliates against a tenant for exercising their rights, the 
regulations specify legal options and protections available to tenants. For more information, click here. [ https://www.mountainview.gov/our-city/departments/housing/rent-stabilization/anti-retaliation-and-anti-harassmen ]

 

Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance Revised

Displacement of tenants might require providing tenant relocation assistance through either the City’s Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO) and/or the State’s Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also referred to as SB330. Relocation assistance
is intended to help eligible households with the cost of moving and securing replacement housing. Eligible tenants also have the right of first refusal to a newly constructed unit if their home is demolished and redeveloped. Demolition of rental
properties may also trigger requirements to replace the demolished units with affordable rental or ownership housing.

To determine which laws may be applicable to your situation, see the Tenant Relocation Administrative Guidelines. These guidelines provide an overview of key provisions from the City's TRAO regulations and State Law SB 330. The more generous or protective of the TRAO or SB330 requirements shall prevail where applicable. Please refer to each respective law for the complete text and requirements. These guidelines may be revised from time to time to clarify or revise procedures consistent with state law.
