[[File:AB1506-hearing-room.jpg|thumb|right|500px|California Assembly hearing for AB 1506 Costa Hawkins repeal]] In 2017 two efforts launched to repeal the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa-Hawkins_Rental_Housing_Act Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act] ("Costa-Hawkins"), a California state law enacted in 1995 which places limits on municipal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_control rent control] ordinances:. Costa-Hawkins a) excludes single-family homes including condos; b) excludes buildings built after 1995 or when a city's rent-control law passed; and c) prohibits vacancy control, i.e. it controlling the rent for a new tenant.

Though there likely should be some year limit - 25 years after construction - to ensure new construction isn’t impacted."
