(1)
In all leases of a residential dwelling, or of any interest therein,
from week to week,
month to month, or other period less than a month,
the landlord may increase the rent provided in the lease or rental agreement, upon giving written notice to the tenant, as follows, by either of the following procedures:
(A) By delivering a copy to the tenant personally.
(B) By serving a copy by mail under the procedures prescribed in Section 1013 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(2) If the proposed rent increase for that tenant is
10 percent or less of the rental amount charged to that tenant at any time
during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the increase, either in and of itself or when combined with any other rent increases for the 12 months prior to the effective date of the increase, the notice shall be delivered at least
30 days prior to the effective date of the increase, and subject to Section 1013 of the Code of Civil Procedure if served by mail.
(3) For an increase in rent
greater than the amount described in paragraph (2), the minimum notice period required pursuant to that paragraph shall be
increased by an additional 30 days, and subject to Section 1013 of the Code of Civil Procedure if served by mail. This paragraph does not apply to an increase in rent caused by a change in a tenant's income or family composition as determined by a recertification required by statute or regulation.
(c) If a state or federal statute, state or federal regulation, recorded regulatory agreement, or contract provides for a longer period of notice regarding a rent increase than that provided in subdivision (a) or (b), the personal service or mailing of the notice shall be in accordance with the longer period.
