(4) Under the current four percent floor, landlords have received more than 60 percent of the Consumer Price Index with resulting hardship to tenants.
(5) Therefore, in order to alleviate this hardship to tenants and to ensure that landlords receive fair and adequate rents consistent with Federal Anti-Inflation Guidelines, we hereby amend this ordinance to delete the current four percent floor on annual rent increases.
(d) In accordance with California Civil Code Section 1946.2(g)(1)(B), the Board of Supervisors finds that this Chapter 37 further limits the permissible reasons for termination of a residential tenancy and provides additional tenant protections as compared to California Civil Code Section 1946.2, which the California Legislature adopted as part of the Tenant Protection Act of 2019. The Board of Supervisors therefore finds that this Chapter 37 is more protective of tenants than Section 1946.2, and intends that this Chapter 37 shall apply rather than Section 1946.2.
