Here, of course, the holding in Kavanau I, supra, 19 Cal.App.4th 730, establishes that plaintiff was not permitted “economically viable” or “reasonably beneficial” use of his property. Application of the rent control ordinance to the property seriously interfered with his, or any owner of rental property’s, “primary expectation” about the use of rental property, since the Board did not permit him to earn a reasonable rate of return. Moreover, by denying plaintiff that right, the Board effectively extinguished a fundamental attribute of ownership of rental property.
