        The Rent Board does not contend on appeal that Britton lacked standing or that
the question of the propriety of Rule 6.15C was not properly before the court, and we do
not consider the issue.

         Britton’s opening brief on appeal violates the rule that each argument be
presented under a separate heading. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.204(a)(1)(B); Goehring
v. Chapman University (2004) 121 Cal.App.4th 353, 372.) In addition, the opening brief
is replete with factual assertions that lack any citation to the record. (Cal. Rules of Court,
rule 8.204(a)(1)(C).) We may treat arguments not properly presented as forfeited.
(Consolidated Irrigation Dist. v. City of Selma (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 187, 201.) In the
interest of justice, we shall respond to the legal arguments Britton makes; however, to the
extent we fail to address a point made in the opening brief, the issue is treated as
forfeited.
