Summary
The Rental Housing Committee voted unanimously to adopt the annual general adjustment for rents under the CSFRA at 2.7% and under the MHRSO at 1.6%, effective Sept. 1, 2025; the committee required a 30‑day written notice with a required information sheet.
On April 24, 2025, the City of Mountain View Rental Housing Committee adopted a resolution announcing the annual general adjustment (AGA) of rents for covered units for the period Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2026. The committee voted unanimously to set the CSFRA AGA at 2.7 percent and the MHRSO AGA at 1.6 percent.
Staff said the CSFRA AGA equals 100 percent of the selected CPI‑U measure, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, with a 2% floor and 5% ceiling in the ordinance. For the MHRSO, staff said the AGA is set at 60 percent of the CPI‑U with no floor and a 3% ceiling, reflecting a recent city council amendment. Staff reported it used the San Francisco‑area CPI‑U annual index ending in February to compute the figures.
Under the resolution, rent increases take effect on Sept. 1, 2025, and landlords must provide a 30‑day written rent increase notice that includes the required information sheet. Staff noted properties must be in compliance with the applicable rent‑stabilization ordinance before issuing an increase.
Motion and vote: Member Robert Cox made the motion to adopt the AGA; Member Hyslop seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The adoption completes the committee—s statutory annual step of announcing the AGA; the committee will continue to monitor compliance and provide guidance to landlords and tenants about notice and documentation requirements.
