[9] The sparse legislative history of the Ellis Act and does not deal with the implications of the competing policies. A Senate Judiciary Committee analysis states: "The bill would provide that its provisions would not supersede any rights of a tenant under the Unruh Civil Rights Act, the Fair Employment & Housing Act, the Civil Code, the unlawful detainer statutes, the Community Redevelopment Law, the relocation assistance laws, and the Unfair Business Practices Act. [¶] This provision would limit a landlord's right to go out of business if the exercise of that right would jeopardize a tenant's rights under state law. For example, this provision would probably prohibit a landlord from going out of business if the tenant had requested repairs or reported housing code violations. An eviction of the tenant under such circumstances could be deemed a prohibited retaliatory eviction." (Sen. Com. on Judiciary, Analysis of Sen. Bill No. 505 (1985-1986 Reg. Sess.) as amended May 15, 1985, p. 5.) (Italics added.)
