California rejected rent control, but Sacramento may do it

Had Prop. 10 passed, the Sacramento effort would have covered all renters throughout the city.

Instead, the Sacramento rent control initiative likely will affect about 72 percent of the city's 106,000 rental units, based on numbers from the city of Sacramento rental housing inspection program, Pariset said...

The proposal, called the "Sacramento Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Charter Amendment," stipulates that annual allowable rent increases could range from a maximum of 2 percent per year up to a maximum of 5 percent each year.
