1947.7.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that the operation of local rent stabilization programs can be complex and that disputes often arise with regard to standards of compliance with the regulatory processes of those programs. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to limit the imposition of penalties and sanctions against an owner of residential rental units where that person has attempted in good faith to fully comply with the regulatory processes.
(b) An owner of a residential rental unit who is in substantial
compliance with an ordinance or charter that controls or establishes
a system of controls on the price at which residential rental units
may be offered for rent or lease and which requires the registration
of rents, or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, shall not be
assessed a penalty or any other sanction for noncompliance with the
ordinance, charter, or regulation.
