Santa Monica’s Rent Control Board took a stance on several proposed laws last week backing measures that would allow tenants to relocate, expand rent control to newly constructed buildings and facilitate payments to landlords who are making their buildings earthquake safe.

During the most recent Rent Control Board meeting, all members expressed their support for the consideration of resolution AB 1620, which would require landlords statewide to permit permanently disabled tenants who live upstairs to move downstairs for simplicity’s sake. It would in fact be the first change to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act in 28 years, something Chair Anatasia Foster noted would be “historic.”
