#rent control on single family dwellings, including condos.
#"vacancy control", or control of rent charged to a new tenant, sometimes called "strict" rent control; and
#rent control on any building built after 1995, or after a city established its own earlier rent control law. (e.g. in San Francisco, 1979).
Repeal efforts include AB 1506, a California State Assembly bill, and a ballot initiative '''California Local Rent Control Initiative. '''

Assemblymember Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica), sponsor of [[AB1506|AB1506]] repeal bill:
<blockquote>''“At the same time, while I understand why some want to put this change on the ballot, it is never ideal to address a complicated issue like this through the initiative process,” Bloom said. “First and foremost, the initiative process is a simple up or down vote that does not allow for any public input, shuts down dialogue amongst stakeholders, and prevents anyone from making changes to address any concerns raised by those impacted by the proposal.'' ''“Secondly, if there are unintended consequences down the road that need to be fixed, it will require a 2/3 vote of each house of the Legislature – a threshold not easily achieved. For these reasons, something this complicated is better left to the legislative process. AB 1506 remains a vehicle for responsible dialogue and, I hope, legislation that will ease the economic burden that is affecting so many Californians.”<br/> - quoted in ''</blockquote>
