California Notice of Entry and Rent Increase Notice

Two notices every California landlord needs: a notice of intent to enter and a notice of rent increase, with the California notice rules checked and printed on a guide page.

WHAT YOU GET

- Fillable PDF in US Letter and A4 (4 pages). Type into it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or most PDF apps, then print or save

- Editable Word (.docx) in US Letter and A4. Change the wording or add your logo. Also opens in Google Docs and Pages

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Form CA-E1 Notice of Intent to Enter: date, time window, purpose checkboxes, who is entering, delivery record

- Form CA-R1 Notice of Change in Rent: increase amount and percent calculate automatically, plus a 12-month increase test that shows whether 30 or 90 days' notice is needed

- Proof of Delivery record

- California Entry and Rent Rules at a Glance, with citations and scope notes

HOW IT WORKS

1. Fill in the date, time and purpose of entry, or the current rent, new rent and effective date.

2. Check the notice period on the rules page. 30 days for increases of 10% or less over 12 months, 90 days for more (Civil Code 827), with a built-in calculator.

3. Deliver it and fill in the proof of delivery record.

LAW CHECKED

- Entry: 24 hours written notice, or 6 days if mailed, with date, approximate time and purpose (Civil Code 1954)

- Rent increase: 30 days for increases of 10% or less over 12 months, 90 days for more (Civil Code 827), with a built-in calculator

- Checked on October 18, 2026 against California Civil Code 1954, 827 and 1947.12 on the official legislature website

PLEASE NOTE

- The rent increase notice handles the notice period only. If the unit is covered by the statewide cap (Civil Code 1947.12) or a local rent control ordinance, check the allowed amount first.

- Automatic totals work in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) and most desktop PDF apps. Some apps (for example Apple Preview and some phone apps) do not run form calculations; type the totals yourself there or use the Word file.
