If rent increase is 10% or less; 30 day notice. Greater than 10%; 60 day notice. This excludes area around and including San Francisco and others that do have rent control. It does depend on the local area – though from memory, I don’t think anywhere within San Diego City and County have employed rent control.
NOTE: Rent increase must be in writing, waiting period before actual increase starts as of date of delivery (can’t have one predated or say that ‘we talked about it beforehand’). With mailed notices, an additional 5 days applies (Recommend at a min certified mail from post office. Capture delivery receipt from post office and file. Signature confirmation might be a bit intimidating to the renters though.). https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm100/extra-services.htm
More details applies to mid-month increases, but safest bet is to make sure you apply the notice 30 days before any increases take effect.
