I'm no longer a Californian, but I support extremely strong tenant's rights laws. Landlords risk money. Tenants risk housing. The law should shift the balance of power here. Landlords love to say how they deserve their rents because they are taking on risk for the tenant - so they should actually take on that risk. Moving is very expensive. You have a deposit on the new rental. You have to pay for moving your stuff over to the new place. You might have to take time off work to search for a new rental. You probably have some overlapping lease time where you are paying double on rent.
