Nor does section 1801(c) or any other provision of the Rent Control Law authorize the Board to create new categories of properties that are exempt from rent control. An administrative agency, such as the Board, can only act within the scope of its delegated authority. (See Association for Retarded Citizens v. Department of Developmental Services (1985) 38 Cal.3d 384, 391, 211 Cal.Rptr. 758, 696 P.2d 150 ["Administrative action that is not authorized by, or is inconsistent with, acts of the Legislature is void"]; Schneider v. California Coastal Com. (2006) 140 Cal.App.4th 1339, 1348, 44 Cal.Rptr.3d 867 [same]; City and County of San Francisco v. Board of Permit Appeals (1989) 207 Cal.App.3d 1099, 1109-1110, 255 Cal.Rptr. 307 [administrative appeals board had no power to disregard or amend ordinances defining its authority].)
