Rent control refers to local ordinances that limit how much the rent can be increased and when a landlord may raise it. It also defines eviction rules and exemptions that apply to certain properties. In Palm Springs, these rules interact with state law and can impact both tenants and owners. It’s important to review lease terms, notice periods, and the specific ordinance that applies to your building to determine available remedies.
Both landlords and tenants may pursue rent control claims depending on the issue. Landlords may challenge increases beyond allowed caps or seek lawful eviction outcomes, while tenants may challenge improper notices or unlawful enforcement actions. A local attorney can help assess eligibility, gather evidence, and choose the right path based on the facts and applicable regulations.
