How we research these summaries

Every rule on this page is drawn from state statutes and municipal codes and summarized with AI assistance. Each one cites the statute it's based on and links to a published text of that law so you can read it firsthand. Where a page says a city or county has no local rule on a topic, that means none was found for the topics covered here — not that none exists. Local governments also regulate rental housing in ways these pages don't track, including registration, licensing, inspections and habitability standards. These summaries may be incomplete or out of date, laws change often, and every property and tenancy has specifics a summary can't capture — so treat this as a starting point for your own research, not as legal advice, and check with the local jurisdiction and a qualified attorney before acting on your particular situation.

What to Know in Antioch

Sources last checked July 2026

Antioch caps annual rent increases at the lower of 3% or 60% of the Bay Area CPI for most residential units built before February 1, 1995, under its Rent Stabilization Ordinance — stricter than the statewide AB 1482 formula, though single-family homes, condos, and co-ops are exempt regardless of age. A separate Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (No. 2240-C-S, 2024) requires a valid reason to terminate a covered tenancy, and re-renting within 24 months of an owner-move-in eviction gives the former tenant first right of refusal at no more than the allowable increase.

Antioch Local Rules

Eviction Notice Requirements

What are the eviction notice requirements in Antioch?

Antioch enacted a Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (No. 2240-C-S, passed September 10, 2024) that prohibits landlords from terminating a tenancy without just cause. At-fault just cause includes nonpayment of rent, lease violations, nuisance, and illegal activity. No-fault just cause (owner move-in, substantial remodel, withdrawal from rental market) also requires advance notice and, in some cases, relocation assistance. Under the ordinance, if the landlord re-rents the unit within 24 months after an owner move-in eviction, they must offer the former tenant first right of refusal at no more than the allowable increase. The Anti-Harassment Ordinance prohibits retaliatory eviction attempts.

Antioch Mun. Code Tit. 11, Ch. 3 (Ord. No. 2240-C-S)
Move-Out & Lease Termination Notice

What is the move-out notice requirement in Antioch?

Antioch follows California state law for notice periods: tenants must give at least 30 days' written notice; landlords must give 30 days for tenancies under 1 year or 60 days for tenancies of 1 year or more. Additionally, under the local Just Cause Eviction Ordinance (effective September 2024), landlords must have a valid just cause reason to terminate any covered tenancy. City-provided disclosure notices must be delivered to new tenants on or before the first date of tenancy, and again whenever the landlord notifies the tenant of a rent increase.

California Civil Code §§ 1946, 1946.1; Antioch Municipal Code Title 11, Chapter 3
Rent Control / Rent Increase Caps

Is there rent control in Antioch?

Antioch's Rent Stabilization Ordinance (effective November 11, 2022) caps annual rent increases at the lower of 3% or 60% of the most recent 12-month increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward area published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Rent cannot be increased until 12 months have passed since the last increase. Covered units include most residential rentals built before February 1, 1995. Newly constructed units are exempt under the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. Single-family homes without an accessory dwelling unit, condominiums, and co-ops are exempt from the local cap regardless of when they were built. This local cap is stricter than state law for covered units.

Antioch Mun. Code Tit. 11, Ch. 1, § 11-3.04
Rent Increase Notice Periods

How much notice is required for rent increases in Antioch?

Antioch follows California state law notice requirements: at least 30 days' written notice for rent increases of 10% or less, and at least 90 days' written notice for increases exceeding 10% cumulatively in a 12-month period. Under the Antioch Rent Stabilization Ordinance, landlords must also deliver a city-provided written notice to tenants whenever notifying them of a rent increase. The notice must inform tenants that the tenancy is regulated by the Antioch Rent Stabilization Ordinance (AMC Title 11, Chapter 1) and of their right to file complaints with the city. No rent increase is effective until all notice requirements are satisfied.

Cal. Civ. Code § 827; Antioch Mun. Code Tit. 11, Ch. 1
Security Deposit Limits

What is the security deposit limit in Antioch?

Antioch's Rent Stabilization Ordinance does not impose a local security deposit limit beyond state law. Under California AB 12 (effective July 1, 2024), landlords may not collect more than 1 month's rent as a security deposit for both furnished and unfurnished units. All deposits (pet, cleaning, last month's rent) are combined toward this cap. Small landlords who are natural persons or LLCs with all natural-person members owning no more than 2 properties with 4 or fewer total units may collect up to 2 months' rent.

California Civil Code § 1950.5 (as amended by AB 12, Stats. 2023, Ch. 659)
