The Maryland Constitution, like ours, provides that the "judicial power" of the state is vested in the state high court and lower courts. (Compare Md. Const., art. IV, § 1,[21] with Cal. Const., art. VI, § 1 [quoted ante, p. 355].) In Investors, supra, 312 A.2d 225, the Maryland high court considered a challenge under its constitution's judicial powers provision to the authority of a "Fair Landlord-Tenant Relations" board. The board was established by local government to "comprehensively regulate the apartment rental business." (312 A.2d at p. 227.) Although the board did not have the authority to set rents, it was given the power to regulate and adjudicate all manner of landlord-tenant relations and disputes concerning "defective tenancies," and to make various remedial orders to enforce its regulations and decisions.
