Cal. Civ. Code § 380.307
Rent Increases
Operative Text
Upon request from an LAA or a Developer, Agencies may allow an annual increase in the rent for Units, not to exceed the existing rent multiplied by the most recent Annual Adjustment Factor, except as otherwise permitted by Section 380.306(c).� Rent increases shall be subject to the availability of funds in Annual Receipts.� In making this determination, the Agency shall review comparable rents in the market area, operating expenses of the building in which the Unit is located, and any other information the Agency deems relevant.� Any rent increase shall not increase the Tenant Contribution.� If approved, rent increases shall take effect either at the time the lease for the Unit is renewed or, if a lease is not renewed, in the first month Rental Assistance is subsequently provided for a new Tenant for the Unit.
Under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.307, state agencies may approve annual rent increases for assisted housing units when requested by a Local Administrative Agency (LAA) or Developer, but those increases cannot exceed the existing rent multiplied by the most recent Annual Adjustment Factor. Any approved increase is contingent on the availability of funds in Annual Receipts, and the agency must weigh comparable market rents, building operating expenses, and other relevant information before granting approval. Critically, no approved rent increase may raise the amount a tenant personally contributes toward rent. Approved increases take effect either when a current lease is renewed or, if no renewal occurs, when rental assistance is first provided to a new tenant in that unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and Local Administrative Agencies operating under 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 § 380.307 generally initiate the rent-increase process by submitting a formal request to the relevant Agency, supported by documentation of operating expenses and comparable market rents in the area. Compliant operators understand that approval is not automatic — the Agency evaluates fund availability and other factors it deems relevant before granting any increase. Once approved, operators apply the increase at lease renewal or, when a unit turns over, at the point rental assistance is first issued for the incoming tenant, ensuring the timing aligns with the provision's requirements.

Section 380.307 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 includes an important protection: even if a rent increase is approved for an assisted unit, that increase cannot raise the portion of rent the tenant is personally responsible for paying. Tenants in assisted housing who receive notice of a rent change may want to verify that their own contribution has not been impacted in a way that conflicts with this provision. Tenants who believe their contribution has been improperly increased can consider contacting their Local Administrative Agency, a local tenant-rights organization, or the Illinois Housing Development Authority for information about how this rule applies to their housing program.
