A month later, in October 1995, the City enacted its Tenant Harassment ordinance. (Santa Monica Mun. Code, § 4.56.) When the Santa Monica City Council amended the ordinance in 1996, residents testified “that instances of tenant harassment [had] been increasing in the City since the passage of [Costa-Hawkins]—the statewide vacancy decontrol measure.” (Santa Monica Ord. No. 1859ccs, § 1, subd. (a).)

No. 1859ccs, § 1, subd. (b).)
