In essence, the statute provided that if a tenant complained about the tenantability of a dwelling, the landlord was prohibited from accomplishing his purpose within 60 days from the date of the complaint, the date of an inspection or citation, or the date of any judgment or arbitration award adverse to the landlord on the issue of tenantability, whichever date came latest. Subsequently, it was held that the statute was to “be liberally construed to effect its objectives and to suppress, not encourage, thé mischief at which it was *733 directed.” (Kriz v. Taylor (1979) 92 Cal.App.3d 302, 311 [154 Cal.Rptr. 824].)
