Thank you, president breed today, the board can support the strongest protection and curve the frivolous evictions with the at that particular time motivation is greed and stabilize the exist residents in San Francisco we all know the status all right. According cots eviction report 2 thousand hundred and 20 for the year 2015 this is a 54. 7 percent increase since 7 years ago thanks to the attendance by the media weve seen a decline in the ellis act eviction notice yet a rise of number of allow fault evictions that increased by 7 or 82 point percentage it is likely higher as many evictions go unreported as evidenced by the citywide balance reports releases and authorized by our office San Francisco is running in place only Affordable Housing is one of the most expensive Housing Market in the country we added 6 hundred plos plus housing unit but lost 5 thousand 4 hundred and 70 rental units with the middleincome housing in San Francisco from protected status through a no fault and low fault evictions loud by stalling this demonstrates our work is every bit important to have the construction of new Affordable Housing according come to the report the 5 leading cases of evictions in order are one breach of lease two nuisance and 3 owner month in and ellis act and 5 finally illegal use much attention on no fault evictions like move on in we find the leading cause breach of lease nuisance and illegal use radio increasing awhile ill he is and those on the decline we have needing assistance by people evicted seniors and immigrants and residents with disability i know weve heard the stories of eviction ill share one sill you cant have a face for the legislation is one of the many tenants targeted by the landlord that is Environmental Impact attendance across 9 buildings in on that motion to approve mission and the castro and north beach shes a former postal wish worker since the landlords bought itself building ive gotten notices excluding being a drug dealer and now her grandsons have moved in my grandson moved in for the record in order to take care of me because of my disability ive only become sicker from the stress many of the residents that received those are seniors and residents with disabilities and immigrants and our housing counselor are overwhelmed and sadder we make them after they cant find housing a couple of months ago in the mission as supervisor campos district i met a senior who is necessary Navigation Center i conserved how long shes on the streets she would only 6 months i asked her how she is on the street she was evicted when a new Property Owner bought the building that will this this was brought to us by the folks that have seen the case loads i want to recognize supervisor campos and supervisor mar and those are the authorities and the City Attorney to make those amendments i want to summarize the amendments in the legislation one to require the eviction notice are in languages and include what the tenants get help and requiring the landlord to have it in tagalog and russian and chinese and other languages for the retirement board and two stop no fault evictions on harm less mistakes they must prove we had a russian family who got an eviction their son was sued of using drugs no prove offered those 3 tenants must be given a reasonable amount of time they we have seniors in chinatown that are evicted from the sro because theyre hanging laundry outside of their window weve heard from tenants for leaving their bike or baby strongly that allows the tenant to stop this breach of eviction and 4 clarifies the housing not for dwelling units and commercial spaces or inlaw units are the sole reason for eviction we want to recognize malia cohen that seen a lot of illegal notices that offend an false imprisonment amendment to clarify when a units is not legal the landlord is not allowed to stay in the unit or reside there and finally this amendment codifies availability rent control loudly under state law that a landlord or Property Owner that terminates a lease or requires a tenant to relogically because of Capital Repair or less remediation the following tenant or current tenant moves on at t rent of the current tenant i want to recognize supervisor wiener that i accepted a cap of 5 years which is reasonable for the number of units for the years that the advantage control taken together this passage provides protection for the most vulnerable attendance during the speculative market and takes away the greed those important amendments will impact the vulnerable residents and reduces the incentive in order to rent at a higher rent i want to recognize the tenants that work with the office that helped to shape this legislation i also want to recognize several groups that have been working on the legislation over the past 6 months the Housing Program and Chinatown Community vehement and is tenants and the detectives and the collaborative and housing rights and senior disabled and south americas and tenderloin housing clinic i finally want to recognize two of my staff april who started this legislation and ivy who spent countless hours working with the stakeholders to strike the balance to make sure were protecting the tenants out of greed and put in protection for the landlord theyll not be exist by bad tenant so colleagues, i ask for your support and look forward to this discretion on this proposed legislation. Thank you, supervisor kim and before we move on i wanted to let the public know that the overflow room room 263 is full, however, the north light court is open for people that want to watch the proceeding. Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much madam president thank you, supervisor kim for bringing forward this important using issue for this housing crisis where it is just hard to believe when you see some of the residence that are being charged it is seemed like it cant get worse then it does and completely out of control one of the most important things we can do in addition to build the Affordable Housing keeping people stable in to the housing and making sure that people are not being pushed out particularly do to bogus lease violations i want to thank you, supervisor kim so for raising the landlord she was at a politic not to mention the name i did a sobering pathic person who has been buying up buildings and terrorize the tenants to get them out of the building and the horror stores you in meeting with the tenants and their daily lives what we live with no human being should have to go through and what shes doing is highly illegal under current what are you this is why the City Attorney wisely is susie her and her behavior has to place in San Francisco it is important to acknowledge that most landlords dont engage in that kind of behavior there are people that do bad and illegal and harassing things and many dont weve heard from landlord about abusive tenants although there are tenants that are abusive and violating the lease or law the vast majority are trying to live hair lives the handwriting majority of people landlords and tenants are trying to go about their lives and some people on the landlord side that are doing inappropriate thing were making a law pasture that it applies wisely to everyone and that is going to allow a robust rental market well keep tenants stable in their housing and have wellmanaged building i support and will be voting for the significant majority of that legislation with one exception hell get to in a minute i want to thank the Land Use Commission for accepting two of the 3 amendments i offered in committee and thank you to the tenants and the pertain advocates for working collaboratively to come up with Good Solutions i completely agree people should not be evicted from their units for any reason lease violations their i think inherently contextual and some of the stories about laundry or people painting a wall not supposed to paint people shouldnt be evicted im supportive we limit those kinds of evictions to serious violation your impacting not only the landlords but other tenants in the building the language around evictions for all of a sudden nuisance we were able to work with the tenants grounds and the landlord groups to come up with focused language to say in order to evict for nuisance serious or concurring or continuing not a mirror visitation that is really great language im green glad we were able to get it done and in addition the language around move on evictions the way it was initially drafted if someone did a move on and lived in the units for 25 years youll voluntary to go with the 25yearold rent that was created sensitive to do the ellis act voigsz evictions after 5 years and the last thing we want to do is sensitive vices the ellis act in order a one move on is one eviction and the ellis act is of the entire building thank you, supervisor kim and it makes it a better vehicle so theres a lot of good stuff in this legislation that will protect taxicabs and keep people safe one section i could not support i voted begins in committee and will be voting against today as well selfthe section that basically eliminates in my view Ferry Building eliminates the landlord to limit the number of tenants in a building and raise it up to the fire code as opposed to the landlord not been able to manage the number of tenants i support flexibility in bringing in roommates the current code has it allows people to bring in their child or parents or grandparent or brothers and sisters or spouse are domestic partner right now regardless of what the lease says you can bring those family members not only the direct but a grandparent or grandchild or spouse or domestic partner 15 years ago the boards topped lou for roommate if you have a roommate it monarchs he can bring in another roommate we dont want a person to lose a unit as i indicated in committee ill be supportive of having additional flexibilities to allow one person to bring in one additional roommate but i cant support which one landlord rents a 2 bedroom apartment and in person brings in 3 roommates without effectively any say so by the landlords it effects the landlords and other tenants bus of the all of a sudden United States number of People Living in the building doubles or quad disrupts it effects all the tenants and the landlords can technically try to withhold consent they cant effectively withhold consent because of the number of tenants ill be supportive of flexibility around roommates i cant support this i think well have a lot of unintended consequences ill be asking at the conclusion or now separately vote on page 8 line 9 through line 11 that one page has nothing to do with ill be voting in favor of Everything Else and voting against that one subsection. Thank you supervisor yee. Thank you president breed i want to thank supervisor kim for authorizing thirty this piece of legislation it is something that really niece to be done many of the provisions that are in there im if he supportive in regards to the low fault types of evictions we dont want that to be a weapon situation in San Francisco this will act to counteract that a lot of what supervisor wiener has said i agree with and i want to be supportive of this piece of legislation but one piece i have concerns about is the one that supervisor wiener pointed out with the provision had legislation especially talking about the roommate i understand accountable crisis the city is going introduce i believe in the principle of respecting the terms of contract and uncomfortable changing those with the conversations with the two parties so colleagues ill be supporting the call to to separate the question on this one. Thank you supervisor chiu supervisor tang thank you i too would like to thank the author of this legislation i know it is disheartening no neighborhood in San Francisco that are affordable for rents last week my colleagues before me supervisor wiener and supervisor yee he agree with the majority of legislation especially with it comes to the minor issues that landlord are seeking to evict some of the attendants for but i have questions regarding the and my comments will be centered after the additional occupants and so i have received conflicting information about the rights of additional occupant will be for example, if im a master lease holder and i decide im going to bring on you know a friend or two to join me in my living situation had what rights do those individuals have and theres terms where their sub lease he or cotenants so im wort wording in the City Attorneys office or the rent board can answer that question for me and supervisor director the rent board under the rent ordinance a sub tenants is considered a tenant, however, a sub tenants their landlord it the Master Tenant the person that brings them in as long as they pay rent to the person and not the landlords if they continue to may rent to the landlord and the landlord starts treating them as a tenant for example, putting their name on rent increases they can actually create a landlord tenant relationship otherwise if they steer clear the behaviors the person that gets brought in as long as it sub tenant pace represent when their tenancies when their occupant is gone the landlord can raise the rent Basil Hawkins and my lawyers tell me the tenancies can be extinguished t
