Kavanau’s allegations, if true, are not sufficient to establish a taking, and therefore the trial court was correct to sustain the Rent Board’s demurrer. This case does not fall within either of the “two discrete categories of regulatory action” that constitute a taking. (Lucas, supra, 505 U.S. at p. 1015 [112 S.Ct. at p. 2893]; Agins v. Tiburon, supra, 447 U.S. at p. 260 [100 S.Ct. at p. 2141].) Rent control does not generally constitute a physical invasion of property (Yee v. Escondido, supra, 503 U.S. 519), and we agree with the Court of Appeal that Kavanau did not lose “all economically beneficial or productive use of’ his property (Lucas, supra, 505 U.S. at p. 1015 [112 S.Ct. at p. 2893]).
