The Ellis Act (Gov.Code, § 7060 et seq.) provides that no statute, ordinance, regulation, or administrative action "shall ... compel the owner of any residential real property to offer, or to continue to offer, accommodations in the property for rent or lease." (Gov.Code, § 7060, subd. (a).) A landlord who complies with the Ellis Act may therefore go out of the residential rental business by withdrawing the rental property from the market. (Los Angeles Lincoln Place Investors, Ltd. v. City of Los Angeles (1997) 54 Cal.App.4th 53, 61, 62 Cal.Rptr.2d 600.) If necessary, the landlord may institute an action for unlawful detainer to evict the tenants and recover possession of the property. (Gov.Code, § 7060.6.)
