Skowron v. Santa Monica Rent Control Bd.
On July 1, 2002, respondent Santa Monica Rent Control Board (Board) assessed an annual registration fee of $792 on an apartment building owned by appellants Walter L. Skowron and Helen M. Skowron (the Skowrons). The Skowrons withdrew the apartments from the rental market effective August 21, 2002. The Skowrons offered to pay prorated fees of $44, but the Board took the position that fees were due for the entire fiscal year 2002/2003. In cross motions for summary judgment, the trial court agreed with the Board, and rejected the Skowrons challenge to the constitutionality of the registration fee. The Skowrons appeal; Court affirm.
