7060.7. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to supersede any holding or portion of any holding in Nash v. City of Santa Monica, 37 Cal.3d 97 to the extent that the holding, or portion of the holding, conflicts with this chapter, so as to permit landlords to go out of business.

(a) Interfere with local governmental authority over land use, including regulation of the conversion of existing housing to condominiums or other subdivided interests or to other nonresidential use following its withdrawal from rent or lease under this chapter.
(b) Preempt local or municipal environmental or land use regulations, procedures, or controls that govern the demolition and redevelopment of residential property.

(1) Withdraw from rent or lease less than all of the accommodations, as defined by paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 7060.

But the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply to:
(A) A unit that was the principal place of residence of any owner or owner’s family member at the time of withdrawal, provided that it continues to be that person’s or those persons’ principal place of residence when accommodations are returned to the rental market as provided in this section.
(B) A unit that is the principal place of residence of an owner when the accommodations are returned to the rental market, if it is the owners’ principal place of residence, at the time of return to the rental market, as provided in this section. If the owner vacates the unit within 10 years from the date of withdrawal, the owner shall, within 30 days, offer to rerent if required under this paragraph.
(e) Grant to any public entity any power which it does not possess independent of this chapter to control or establish a system of control on the price at which accommodations may be offered for rent or lease, or to diminish any such power which that public entity may possess, except as specifically provided in this chapter.

2023 California Code › Government Code - GOV › TITLE 1 - GENERAL › DIVISION 7 - MISCELLANEOUS › CHAPTER 12.76 - Local Tenant Preferences to Prevent Displacement Act › Section 7061.

7061. (a) It is the policy of the state of California that lower income individuals residing in neighborhoods and communities experiencing significant displacement pressures and gentrification due to rapid growth or increasing housing prices need access to housing that is affordable and that assists those households in avoiding displacement. To the extent feasible and consistent with other state and federal laws, the low-income housing tax credit program and tax-exempt bonds for qualified residential rental properties defined under subsection (d) of Section 142 of the Internal Revenue Code used to create and preserve affordable housing may be used to support access to housing that would allow households facing or at risk of displacement to remain in the community.
(b) A local tenant preference adopted pursuant to this chapter is subject to the duty of public agencies to affirmatively further fair housing pursuant to Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Section 51 of the Civil Code), the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C.
