For September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, Mountain View's Annual General Adjustment is 2.7%. That is the maximum a landlord may raise rent on a unit covered by the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act (CSFRA). The CSFRA AGA tracks 100% of CPI, with a 2% floor and 5% ceiling built into the law.
Mountain View's 2025–26 rent rules
- AGA: 2.7% for Sep. 1, 2025 – Aug. 31, 2026 — the maximum annual increase for CSFRA-covered units.
- Coverage: the CSFRA applies to most multi-family units with a certificate of occupancy before February 1, 1995.
- Just cause: the CSFRA also provides eviction protections for covered tenants.
Units not under the CSFRA
Single-family homes, condos, and newer construction are generally governed by California's AB 1482 (5% + CPI, max 10%) instead of the CSFRA. Confirm your unit's status before any increase.
