rental market and thus the property was “fully subject to the rent
level and eviction protections afforded under . . . Santa Monica’s
rent control law . . . .”
       On March 16, 2016, Lewis sent an email to 20th Street
Owner, acknowledging that Board staff had previously opined
that “a removal permit is a permit to ‘remove a property from
rent control[.]’” Lewis continued, “Under the law’s plain
language, the Board granted you a permit to remove your
property from the rental housing market. I understand that you
did that, but that the property is now again being rented. The
property is, therefore, subject to the rental control law.” (Italics
original.) Lewis indicated that the Board was not seeking
recovery of any benefits that 20th Street Owner had gained
during the period the 20th Street property was exempted from
rent control. Lewis, however, instructed 20th Street Owner to
register the 20th Street property’s residential rental units with
the Board without delay. F.    Excess Rent Complaints
