Rent control, at least in San Francisco, applies to buildings/units of a certain type. It is not given to people or applied for. You get it automatically if you live in a unit that qualifies.
So it is a right for all... just live in a building that qualifies. Most older buildings already do, so rent control is already applied to the cheapest units (again, in SF)
