§ 8.52.210. Re-rental following eviction or voluntary vacancy.

A.

Voluntary Vacancy or Eviction for Failure to Pay Rent. If, after July 1, 1979, a rental unit is voluntarily vacated by all of the tenants, or is vacated by all of the tenants as a result of an eviction based on the failure to pay rent to which the landlord is entitled, said unit shall no longer be subject to Section 8.52.030 (base rent), Section 8.52.040 (restriction in rents), Section 8.52.050 (restriction in rents), Section 8.52.055 (automatic adjustments), Section 8.52.070 (rent adjustments), Section 8.52.080 (rent adjustments—Marina del Rey) or Section 8.52.090 (evictions) of this chapter. This exemption shall not apply:

1.

Where the tenants who voluntarily vacated or were evicted were placed into possession following an eviction pursuant to subsection A8 of Section 8.52.090 (use of unit by landlord or a family member) of this chapter; and

2.

The tenants remained in possession for less than six months.

B.

Eviction under Section 8.52.090 A2—A10. If a rental unit is vacated by all of the tenants after July 22, 1979, as a result of an eviction of tenancy based on one or more of the grounds described in subsections A2 through A10, inclusive, of Section 8.52.090, the rent may not be increased upon re-rental of the unit, except as otherwise provided by this chapter. The vacation of a rental unit by a tenant as a result of the landlord creating an unreasonable interference with the tenant's comfort, safety or enjoyment of the rental unit shall not be deemed a voluntary vacation, and shall not be a ground for increasing the rent to the next occupant of the rental unit.
