See Civil Code section 1947.7. In that statute, effective January 1, 1987, the Legislature provides that as to landlords who are in “substantial compliance” with a rent control law, the “exclusive remedies” for noncompliance shall be restitution to the tenant, with recovery of filing fees due to the “local agency.” (Id., subd. (b).) The statute further provides: “Nothing in this section shall be construed to grant to any public entity any power which it does not possess independent of this section to control or establish a system of control on the price at which accommodations may be offered for rent or lease, or to diminish any such power which that public entity may possess, except as specifically provided in this section.”
