Legislation to expand rent control and allow local jurisdictions to limit the amount that residential landlords can raise rent each year was rejected by the California Senate on May 30.

Senate Bill (SB) 466, sponsored by Sen. Aisha Wahab (D-Hayward), failed on the Senate floor when 16 senators voted against it. Wahab decided to table the bill after the vote and bring it back next year, a spokeswoman told The Epoch Times.
