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.
There are other cites in the area that have rent control, like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. Los Angeles City Council passed rent control in 1978 and has maintained it ever since. Rent control is part of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, the ordinances which specially regulate things within the city.
