The City of Santa Monica has had a system of residential rent control in place since 1979. The Santa Monica Rent Control Charter Amendment (the Rent Control Law) is administered by an elected Rent Control Board (the Board). In addition to regulating permissible increases in rents, the Rent Control Law protected tenants from the removal of controlled rental units from the housing market, required just cause for eviction from a controlled rental unit, and provided that rents would remain controlled after a tenant vacated his or her unit.
