Real property: rent control.

Existing law requires, in any city, county, or city and county that administers a system of controls on the price at which residential rental units may be offered for rent or lease and that requires the registration of rents, upon the establishment of a certified rent level, any owner who charges rent to a tenant in excess of the certified lawful rent ceiling to refund the excess rent to the tenant upon demand. This bill would limit, notwithstanding any local law to the contrary, for those units governed by the local rent stabilization ordinance in the City and County of San Francisco, levels of compensation for the temporary displacement of a tenant household for less than 20 days to temporary housing and living expenses, of $275 per day per tenant household, and actual moving expenses, as specified. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City and County of San Francisco.
