The regulation not only set up additional criteria in order for an owner to utilize the authority granted by Costa-Hawkins, it also gave to the Board the power to challenge an owner's vacancy rent increase "if a question of fact arises" regarding the correct registered rent, and places on the owner the burden to prove to the Board that the vacancy was a qualifying vacancy. (Reg. 13008.) Costa-Hawkins does not preserve any such authority to the Board. It gives owners the authority to establish rents, with specific exceptions and guidelines.
