Section 1803(g) provides: “[RGB] shall issue and follow such rules and regulations, including those which are contained in [the RCL], as will further the purposes of the [RCL] . . . .” Section 1805(d)(12) provides: “The rules and regulations adopted by [RGB] shall provide for final action on any individual rent adjustment petition within . . . (120) days . . . .” On appeal, SMP contends the judgment as to its petition for writ of traditional mandate must be reversed because the RCL imposes a mandatory duty on RGB to adopt regulations establishing administrative remedies, for example, the loss of jurisdiction and a return to the prepetition status quo, when RGB fails to take final action on a tenant’s petition for a rent decrease within 120 days as required under section 1805(d)(12). We disagree. *756
