Yes. Inglewood has a local rent control ordinance (Residential Rent Regulations) that caps annual rent increases for covered units. For the period July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026, the allowable increase is 3% for buildings with 5 or more units and up to 8% for buildings with 4 or fewer units. The city recalculates the cap each May based on CPI.
Inglewood's 2025–26 rent caps
- Buildings with 5+ units: up to 3% (Jul. 1, 2025 – Jun. 30, 2026), set from the April 2025 local CPI.
- Buildings with 4 or fewer units: up to 8%.
- Below-market exception: tenants paying 80% or less of fair market rent may face up to 8% (5+ units) or 10% (4 or fewer units).
- Coverage: Inglewood's ordinance generally applies to units built on or before its cutoff; newer construction defaults to AB 1482.
How it fits with state law
Where Inglewood's local cap doesn't apply, California's AB 1482 (5% + CPI, max 10%) governs. The city updates allowable increases every May, so always confirm the current figure with the official source before a rent increase takes effect.
