Academic Perspective: Overview of Rent Stabilization Measures
Dr. Richard Green, Lusk Chair in Real Estate, USC Price School of Public
Policy and Marshall School of Business
/ The academic literature generally does not care for rent control
/ Implicit subsidy is poorly targeted
/ Pollakowski s work on New York City
/ Many vulnerable people are made worse off
/ Diamond on San Francisco. Costs and benefits even out, but some
of the costs fall on low income people
/ Malpezzi. High income people stay in lower quality, inexpensive
buildings longer than they otherwise would, meaning low income
people compete for higher cost housing
/ Discourages mobility
I, Particularly important issue in California
/ Discourages renovation
But...
I, Richard Amott notes that because of land use regulation, many
landlords earn windfalls that have nothing to do with risk
taking/investment. These are Ricardian rents.
/ We know that stability is very important for children. There is a policy
interest in allowing families with children to stay in place. Sharp rent
hikes can undermine this. (Haurin, Parcel and Haurin).
I, Still, zoning reform and direct subsidies would almost surely produce
better outcomes.
But zoning reform in a region with > 100 municipalities is extremely

0 Just Cause Eviction Ordinance
What is a Just Cause Eviction Ordinance?
/ Just Cause Eviction Ordinances are laws that protect tenants from
arbitrary, discriminatory or retaliatory evictions while ensuring that
landlords can evict tenants as long as they have a lawful reason for
doing so.
/ Cities that have Just Cause Eviction Ordinances allow landlords to
evict a tenant only for specific reasons, such as failure to pay rent or
for violation of the lease terms.
What is Considered a Just Cause Eviction?
/ Local ordinances vary on what type of actions can result in a Just
Cause Eviction.
/ Some of the most common types of action that can lead to a Just
Cause Eviction are:
Failure to pay rent
• Use of premises for illegal purposes
Failure to follow rules and regulations of landlord
• Damaging the unit
• Landlord elects to move -in as principal residence
• Landlord seeks to remove unit from rental market
► Requires landlord to specify just cause in the notice of termination
