DOWDALL LAW OFFICES A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION ATTO R N EYS AT LAW City Council of the City of Santa Ana City of Santa Ana September 16, 2021 Page 36 It is also an unsubstantiated and undocumented notion to seek to diminish the rate of return on property based upon the assumption of "appreciation" without the quantification thereof and its contribution to, specifically, the amount by which a rent request is not allowed in full. The constitutionality of mandatory rent controls depends upon the existence and continuing existence of these "constitutional facts." These requirements are well understood. Actual facts must at all times be present which demonstrate a specific intent by landlords to charge exorbitant and excessively high rents to exploit tenants amid a housing shortage. The effects on the tenants must be sufficiently serious to make rent controls a rational measure. Moreover, there is frequently the claim made that mobile homes may be damaged in transit. There does not appear to be any supporting statistics for this assertion, nor is there any difficulty in obtaining more than adequate insurance which would cover any and all damage or any other casualty that occurs in the process of moving a mobilehome.14 "...[The constitutionality of residential rent controls under the police power depends upon the actual existence of a housing shortage and its concomitant ill effects of sufficient seriousness to make rent control a rational curative measure." Birkenfeld, 17 Cal.3d 129 at 160. The actual facts must continue to exist at all times for such controls to remain permissible. Further, any proposed rent controls must also be studied to determine whether the same would operate as a "curative measure," rather than aimed at solving nation-wide inflation, preserving housing stock, providing a subsidy to tenants, insulating the tenants from normal market conditions, or changing the trends in general market conditions.
