Costa-Hawkins states the basic rule of law, that owners of residential property may establish the initial and subsequent rental rates for a dwelling. But it also specifies exceptions to this authority, where the owner has otherwise agreed by contract with a public entity (§ 1954.52, subd. (b)); where the rental property "contains serious health, safety, fire, or building code violations, ... for which a citation has been issued by the appropriate governmental agency and which has remained unabated for six months or longer preceding the vacancy" (§ 1954.52, subd. (d)); and where the owner gives notice of termination of a month to month tenancy pursuant to section 1946 or terminates based on a change in the terms of the tenancy pursuant to section 827. (§ 1954.53, subd. (a)(1).)
