Anderson v. City of Vacaville
A city adopted an amendment to its mobile home rent control ordinance that modified the formula used in establishing automatic, inflation-indexed annual rent increases. A mobile home park owner did not comply with the new formula, and the tenants objected. At a rent review hearing, the owner claimed that the amendment was invalid because the city published a summary of the amendment when it was statutorily required to publish the entire text upon the laws enactment. Alternatively, the owner claimed that the raise in rent beyond the inflation-indexed amount was justified under the terms of the rent control law, which allows additional rent increases if reasonable under the circumstances. The hearing officer found the amendment valid and rejected the owners claim that the circumstances warranted a rent increase beyond the inflation indexed amount. The superior court found that the record supported the hearing officers conclusions and entered a judgment denying the owners petition for a writ of administrative mandate. Court affirm the judgment.
