Residential real property: rent control: withdrawal of accommodations.

(1) Existing law, commonly known as the Ellis Act, generally prohibits public entities from adopting any statute, ordinance, or regulation, or taking any administrative action, as specified, to compel the owner of residential real property to offer or to continue to offer accommodations, as defined, in the property for rent or lease. Existing law excepts from this prohibition residential hotels with certain characteristics. This bill, on and after January 1, 2018, would except from the Ellis Act residential hotels in the City of Oakland. (2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Oakland.
