Opinion

ALDRICH, J.

Introduction

Appellant landlords challenge a local rent control board’s refusal to issue a requested certificate of permissible rent. The landlords seek the information for purposes of resolving a rent dispute with a tenant. The tenant has ceased paying rent. Without the requested information, the landlords are unable to bring an unlawful detainer action and under the applicable local rent control regulations they have no adequate remedy available.

We find the Petris Act, Civil Code section 1947.8, requires the local agency to provide the requested certificate.
