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 These summaries may be incomplete or out of date, laws change often, and every property and tenancy has specifics a summary can't capture — so treat this as a starting point for your own research, not as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 Concord

Sources last checked July 2026

Concord's Residential Tenant Protection Program (Municipal Code Chapter 19.40, 2024) caps annual rent increases at a flat 5% — not CPI-indexed like the statewide formula — for qualifying multifamily units built before February 1, 1995; single-family homes, condos, and newer construction are exempt. Just-cause eviction protection under the same ordinance reaches further, also covering landlords who rent three or more single-family homes or condos in the city, though those renting two or fewer are exempt from the local just-cause requirement.

Concord Local Rules

Eviction Notice Requirements

What are the eviction notice requirements in Concord?

Concord's Residential Tenant Protection Program requires just cause for eviction of tenants in covered units. Just cause protections apply to multifamily units built before February 1, 1995, and to landlords renting three or more single-family homes or condos in Concord. Landlords with two or fewer single-family homes or condos are exempt from the local just cause requirement. Landlords must submit copies of termination notices to the City's Rent Registry portal within 7 calendar days of serving notice on the tenant.

Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40 (Residential Tenant Protection Program)
Move-Out & Lease Termination Notice

What is the move-out notice requirement in Concord?

Concord 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. Under the local Residential Tenant Protection Program, landlords must also file copies of termination notices with the City's Rent Registry portal within 7 calendar days of serving them. Covered tenants also have just cause protections under Chapter 19.40.

Rent Control / Rent Increase Caps

Is there rent control in Concord?

Concord's Residential Tenant Protection Program (Municipal Code Chapter 19.40, effective April 19, 2024, amended May 22, 2025) caps annual rent increases at 5% for qualifying multifamily rental units built before February 1, 1995. Single-family homes, condos, units built on or after February 1, 1995, and accessory dwelling units in owner-occupied duplexes are exempt from the rent stabilization cap but may still be subject to just cause eviction requirements. This local cap is stricter than state law for covered units.

Concord Mun. Code Ch. 19.40
Rent Increase Notice Periods

How much notice is required for rent increases in Concord?

Concord 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. In addition, under the Concord Residential Tenant Protection Program, landlords must submit copies of any termination or rent increase notices to the City's Rent Registry portal within 7 calendar days of serving the notice on the tenant.

California Civil Code § 827; Concord Municipal Code Chapter 19.40
Security Deposit Limits

What is the security deposit limit in Concord?

Concord's Residential Tenant Protection Program 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)
