San Jose Rent Control

[Armand Farr]

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a multi-family house hack in SJ and wanted to get some clarity on the rent control laws:

1. Does the 5% max rent increase (8% if substantially rehabbed) apply to ALL SJ apartments or just those build prior to a certain year?

2. Is the 5% max rent increase annual or by period? Meaning, could I raise rents on a tenant every month in a month-to-month lease?

3. Can I terminate a tenant's month-to-month lease for the purpose of me moving myself into one of the units (hence househack)?

Thanks for the help!
