Unfortunately, this whole thing is getting crazier by the minute. Agree that there was probably never a plan for rent control in the first place -- just pipe dreams to go with the marijuana. The landlords should be allowed to set their own rates, and the tenants should have the rights to leave if it does not suit them. There is nothing positive about it.

Most tenants pay rent on or shortly after the first of each month. The TRO went away on April 4. Will the rent due May 1st include a prorata reduction for April? What if not? And what if the landlord does not even lower the May rent as required?
