Rent Board
The Board of Supervisors and Mayor of San Francisco recently passed legislation that amends the San Francisco Rent Ordinance regarding Ellis Act evictions. The legislation is effective on July 18, 2022.
The Board of Supervisors and Mayor of San Francisco recently passed legislation that gives tenants enhanced rights to organize within their buildings (informally referred to as the “Tenant Right-To-Organize legislation” or "Tenant-At-Home Ordinance").
New legislation requires property owners who intend to construct an ADU under the City’s Local Program to first provide the building tenants a Notice of Addition of ADU(s), which describes the proposed ADU project.
On November 30, 2020, the Rent Ordinance was amended to prohibit landlords from evicting residential tenants until April 1, 2021 (extended to September 30, 2021), unless the eviction is based on the non-payment of rent, the Ellis Act, or is necessary due to violence or safety.
