In rent-controlled Santa Monica, California, fistfights have broken
out between repairmen trying to fix various building violations and
tenants who would prefer to keep the violations unrepaired so they
don't have to pay rent, under local laws. "We've had to call the
police many times," says Al Markevicins, who manages several hundred
apartments in the seaside community.
