As it turns out, the Board adopted regulations in 1990 that allow for an assessment of interest. The Rent Control Law expressly authorizes the Board to issue rules and regulations to further the purposes of the law. (City Charter, art. XVIII, § 1803, subd. (g).) Regulation 8030 provides that the landlord, in addition to making restitution to the tenant, is liable for “an award of interest of up to $500 on the amount of the excess rent for the period of time during which such excess rent was retained prior to the date of the filing of the complaint. The applicable rate of interest shall be the rate specified by law (California Constitution, Article XV) and shall be simple interest.” The administrative decision in this case imposed interest pursuant to regulation 8030.
