5      AAGLA makes no argument that field preemption applies
to the relocation assistance requirement. As we explained in
Pasadena, supra, 117 Cal.App.5th at page 232, it does not. “The
text of the Costa-Hawkins Act contains no express statement of
intent to fully occupy the broad field of rent control. Nor has the
Legislature impliedly manifested such intent.” (Ibid.)
6     In Pasadena, we considered a municipal initiative measure
that applied to rental units not covered by rent control, and
which required, in relevant part, that a “ ‘Landlord shall provide
Relocation Assistance to any Tenant household who is displaced
from a Rental Unit due to inability to pay Rent increases in
excess of 5 percent plus the most recently announced Annual
General Adjustment in any twelve-month period.’ ” (Pasadena,
supra, 117 Cal.App.5th at p. 230.)
