Under the Ellis Act, a local government with rent control may also provide significant disincentives for re-renting a property once a notice of withdrawal has been filed. Subject to certain conditions, including the length of time that has passed since the notice of withdrawal was filed, the disincentives include: permitting the displaced tenants to rent the property again for no more than the rent in effect at the time of withdrawal, plus allowable annual increases; permitting the displaced tenants to sue the landlord for actual and exemplary damages; and permitting the local government to sue the landlord for exemplary damages. (Gov.Code, § 7060.2, subds.(a)d), (b).) San Francisco has enacted these disincentives for re-renting withdrawn properties. (S.F.Admin.Code, § 37.9A, subds.(a), (c), (d).)
