I still think you will be well served to try the DIY route yourself for a bit, but bear in mind that legislation changes, and if you managed the property, you take on all the risks associated with it.

Although it is a city ordinance, it is rarely enforced.

California Legislative AlertNow Rent control is being expanded and could affect Condominiums, Single Family Houses, newere buildings in each city!

Divorce, Probate, Eviction, Code Enforcement, Back Taxes, etc

It is important note that the legislative process really was only the beginning here.

We have enforced that a few times.
