The Board is required by state law to provide the landlord or tenant, upon request, with a certificate of permissible rents. This requirement was designed in part to reduce disputes between landlord and tenants. The certificate provides the parties with an official interpretation of the requirements of the applicable rent control law from the entity authorized to administer the law. Such information would appear to be information vital to the resolution of the various other issues that may exist between the parties. The parties may take whatever actions they deem appropriate, based upon the information they obtain from the Board. Additionally, the landlord may invoke the prohibition of penalties if found to have been in substantial compliance. Any administrative processes invoked by the parties are subject to judicial review pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5, for administrative mandamus. Indeed, the establishment of the permissible rent as determined by the regulatory agency may end the dispute at that point. Disposition
