2. RELIGION may be defined as beliefs and patterns of behavior by which people try to deal with what they view as important problems that canât be solved by other means: e.g. the need to confront and explain life and death.

Rent control, or rent stabilization, is a collection of laws that restrict the rents a landlord can charge and limits the reasons for eviction. The two work together, so that the landlord doesn't get around a rent limit by evicting the tenant, instead, or vice versa.
Some cities, namely San Francisco, use just cause evictions. As of summer 2010, the San Francisco Tenants Union lists 15 just causes for eviction, under the city's rent control ordinance. For instance, a landlord in San Francisco has the right to take his property off the rental market or move into a unit in his building.
