directly regulate the rental rates landlords may charge for any
rental units,” and that although “the deterrent effect of the
Relocation Assistance Ordinance seemingly conflicts with the
Costa-Hawkins provisions permitting landlords” to set rental
rates, it was saved by the fact that the Act preserves local
authority to “regulate or monitor the basis for eviction” (Civ.
Code, § 1954.52, subd. (c)).

declaratory relief, and it entered judgment in favor of the City.
       AAGLA timely appealed. DISCUSSION
