San Francisco Gray panthers strongly supports the owners to the landowners i ask if there is a few bad apples and cutters laws in place that prevent abuse or so why this epidemic of bad evictions that are going on now landlords have asking why are there so many laws for the tenants it is basic the landlords opener give them life or death situation he basically relationship of the ownership the tenants have them by the throat everybody has a right to live in places not move awe from tare trust doctors who gives the landlords the right to get rich and how dare the lords insult those people by calling them low life no profit no housing and profit in evictions. Hello, im responsive i want to say this housing crisis is outs ever hand sorry every month weve gotten letters of evictions because spoepdz we dont pay our rents we pay our rents on times all the time your landlord has supposedly lost our checks and supposedly we never pay our rents it turns out we sued him and we won because he kashdz those checks without gus to we would have been gone we need help we really do. Thank you for sharing that thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, im health also i live in the admission my entire life. Please speak into the micro. Ive seen the change that pains me all the changes im constantly getting evictions and everyday some place is closing up and someone is erected everyday as more evictions we realize what is happening is wrong thats all. Again, thank you for sharing our story thank you. Next speaker, please. Please. Good evening supervisors im a organizer and in the years 5 years ive seen the housing evictions worse as a council ive seen harassment being sophisticated and landlords evict attendance because they have a daughter that is 14 years old not long ago a client come in into the office in tears her landlord said to evict our daughter we dont allow sub leasers we dont care how in universe is it okay to ask a motto evict their 14yearold daughter it is your daughter and job as a motto house them and that is just the tip the ive been the 2. 0 closes loopholes that are being used by landlords attorneys that are in the business of eviction theyre not not business of housing people or sporting landlord but in the business of evicting people that is the most important piece of legislation this year and please take the steps to stop thousands of evictions it is necessary and important we hope it will pass the full board and youll support it there as well thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Ii look the line is dwindling this is the last call for Public Comment please say so. Im joanne represent the Housing Providers and am the director the San FranciscoApartment Association we do not support this piece of legislation, however, we support supervisor cowens one amendment, commissioner lees 3 amendments as id like to mention the previous speaker said that someone couldnt move in a child or keep a child in a relayed we couldnt owners that anyone can move in a Family Member as a law when we had it passed from a member of the supervisors id like to say this is legislation is not needed there are aspects that are legal and end up going to the court and sue the city you should question yourselves in the eviction problem is getting worse with why hadnt this board and mayor solved it, it is getting worse because of the laws most of the problems in Public Comment and ive been here for 5 hours 4 hours now listening to everything can be taken care of under current law if i receive city money to do consulting then the burden is on me im not courtney my folks the same for the tenant groups that are receiving city fined theyre not doing their jobs in consulting folks love the problems and grinds can be involved in current laws we dont need this piece of legislation. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, im susan aim a small Property Owner and a former landlords although im not now im here in support this this legislation this is a historical moment in San Franciscos history were seeing a dramatic change in the Housing Stock and dramatic changes in the population of our city i moved here thirty years ago and San Francisco is a unique city in the United States and in the world because of its diversity because of its vibrant commutativeism a gateway for immigrants especially asia and Latino America if we dont do something to keep this city affordable for ordinary people we are going to lose it diversity it is happening very replied rapidly the city is working on plans to build for Affordable Housing but if we dont take the steps to protect all well be doing is peddling slpt to stay in the same place i think you all love this city or wouldnt work as hard i know your jobs are hard ill really, really urge you to please pass this so the board can vote and help safe the city we all love thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. And good evening Board Members im sarah with the Housing Rights Committee in San Francisco i want to take a moment to bring us back why were here with the tenants youve seen and worked so hard to get to this point to pass this legislation i hope youll do out of committee it is a very real that tenants, in fact, are being evicted left and right for socalled got you evictions those are trumped up charges the real reason is an n one around reversal the landlords want to empty their units to jackup the price to make more money thats the only reason to evict and yet couple of with false reaps are everything from a pet to an unauthorized tenant to etc. , ect we want to protect those tenants so they have a fair process if theyre real reasons why a tenant is causing a nuisance or causing damage to the unit were not taking away the landlords right to evict they need to prove it thats how we do things in the court system in the us is we expect there actual evidence and prove thats all were asking for when you speak to the roommate it is one the remaining strategies that tenants have to stay in their rental housing 90 in San Francisco and again, we are seeing a very significant increase in tenants that are getting evicted because they have roommates it needs to be much easier in the city during the Affordable Housing crisis for tenants to be able to have this help in the form of roommates so despite with the Department Association said this is absolutely thank you clapping. no applause thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is joseph event supervisor kim supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener were all have the same goals to help to protect our goods attendance you doing it in a policy we doing to in a debited level making sure that tenants are is a good place to stay youve horde the Horror Stories from the invert landlords today allowing tenants to move in others without our approve makes that a scary situation our children have to live with strangers and also what did you do approval rent increase well create an undue burden and rip apart attendants in the building like those like jowling tilly chang the 2,700 a month by water fee subsidies from the attendance when rents is 19 hundred and operational costs would have been a meaningfulless not the 27 hundred water fee theyve created the tomatoes have no choice to spend money they dont have to evict exist laws are two this to help the lawyers foreclosure fee subsidies with too much i welcome the amendment from supervisor cowen and supervisor wiener they are in the right direction were all wanting to solve problems maybe change the rent board practice and we need negotiation and emotions case by case based on merit not based stays that your tenants versus the landlords and eviction nos and wrongful eviction under those circumstances nos it o notices that breaks my hereto to see that landowner landlord. You know you know the rules joseph feign you know the rules thank you, nancy pelosi. Members the committee with Chinatown Development center in the San FranciscoDisplacement Coalition i know that has been a long can i i want to address a few points by the department of the association and others ill go in order first off with respect to the rent adjustment weve worked for additional occupants that be is allowed weve worked with the rent boards to make sure that language is going included youll see that under section on page 4 under leveling ab so this is prerogatives to enable the language to increase the rent increase based on additional occupants that are permitted under the roommate piece of legislation i think were not with respect with the latino legislation has been addressed for example, the situation where the previous testimony with respect to patterns not allowed to move in and a child the problem there is a gap from the gonzales legislation it was the legislation addresses once a notice the witness you dont have an opportunities to cure the 3 day notice is in place you cant request a pattern or child to be added it is too late under this we ask the 10 day notice to cure we want to under the influrence we strongly believe that we need to have an expanded roommate piece of legislation frankly it is love whether you have a roommate or you want to add a partner we it shouldnt be a requirement you need to get married in order to have our partner move in to a studio apartment. In the interest of time im George Gracie im nafrm i supported in ordinance im here to see the argument i think certainly theyre not for black people the arguments dont have validity and also concerning the other issues surrounding this im not here to tell you your about say weve done the homework so im here representing the marginalized the poorest of the poorest the criminalized the homelessness population and displaced and those who are displaced by those bogus rent devices and eviction devices and the communities mom and pop commerce and also the disproportionate existing housing which is not forcible at all the transgender and underserved population and those populations coming out of the prisons there is no housing for them those are the populations im speaking for as i stands so he urge and support your efforts that all you are a doing to make that happen i want to make sure that ordinance goes forward. Much who wishes to comment okay Public Comment is closed. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, at this point the matter is back in this Committee Supervisor kim. Thank you chair cohen and supervisor wiener for hearing this item i want to recognize all the members of the public that came out to speak on both sides of the aisle both sides of this proposed ordinance i want to add a number of issues from the small Property Owners are san bruno but the exist law should be protecting you, i dont know if we need to work with our organizations to make sure that were educating our Property Owners on the rights around a number of the situations theyve presented today, we counter have existing law that protects you in a number of circumstances and maybe additional education work and outreach to make sure that you know how to utilize your rights from the lending i think this is incredibly important and we have enough stories but demonstrate this legislation is absolutely needed and there is an existing legislation that is protecting the tenants from those frivolous eviction and i said to expresses my supports for supervisor cohens amend and assuring that in a case we cant make a unit habitable with the legal use can be a reason we dont want to put any of the tenants in danger i also supports supervisor wieners language on nuisance i thank him for working with the advocates at this time i cant support supervisor wieners amendment limit roommates to a carr and so so i wont be supporting that amendment today, im open to having a discussion on year limits on the hall of fame o Basil Hawkins but thats my position. Thank you, supervisor kim and ladies and gentlemen, she recapped some of the amendments we heard 4 hours comboo ago i have a couple of remarks i heard a lot of disconcerting stories from tenants we acquit possible need to go back and visit one the Service Providers on the ground providing services to tenants making sure they have all the information to pass on to the two tenants but sharing little reddish is doing their Due Diligence and making sure their outreaching for multiple languages and that the outreach is conducted by people that are culturally competent and combrountd in the community and have a certain level of understanding to whom theyre talking about to and about i also where to begin supervisor kim thank you for bringing in other hot topic and to the folks that come out to speak we appreciate you i believe the legislation will help to keep residents in San Francisco theres administrations well be discussing i made amendments. Thank you for supporting them supervisor kim i have a few modifications that will help the city to tackle Code Enforcement issues get less voice in todays hearing this is important in the bayview and Visitacion Valley coping Property Owners accountable to make sure the dwellings are at code standard i know that some of us have difference in opinion on roommates i believe that roments are helping people stay in San Francisco i believe that weve got to have safeguards to help to petition the rebdz for utility pass through we refer the right to evict bad tenants were under an unfortunate space i imagine a handful a small bunch ever landlords are take advantage of this housing crisis and that is what the month has paid attention to that is why were here i personally know landlords that are good honorable people and heard from landlords that are good honorable people and unfortunately, we all paying the price for those who are benioff badly the legislation strikes a fair balance and glad do to support it with mainstreams i first would like to take a motion im sorry theres no seconds okay. Just to everyone knows we are going to take the amendments ive proposed and tale with supervisor wieners amendments second so is there a motion to accept thank you very much. Were anxious to get out of here supervisor wiener accepted it and madam clerk my academies to the ordinance passes unanimously thank you very much now im going to call on supervisor wiener to recap. Thank you very much park and everyone that came out for the conversation i think whatever side wins on is the the passion and i think how critically important housing is in the city and the stent and depth the countrys were in the youve heard what the causes are or where we should go were in agreement were in a crisis i think a couple of things i want to point out and supervisor cohen alluded to there was discussion about horrible landlords and some problematic tenants i mentioned this at at last hearing there are terrible all right but theyre a small minority their problematic tenants and theyre also a small minority most landlords and tenants just want to live their lives successful and go about their lives not looking for trouble i think that is important to keep that big picture in mind as we pass legislation were not targeting to a small group of bad actors. Looking at the board inspection i think that is important weve heard today some Horror Stories about action from landlords and tenants and in a number of situation the conduct ive heard not just today is already illegal i mean this is the most strom egregious example this is so clearly illegal under the existing lay which is why shes been suit by the City Attorneys Office this is a good thing and we know that that or some of the connecting conduct weve heard from the city where the tenants were doing also seems to be illegal already to well have to make sure that in addition to whatever legislation we pass to the allow i law in existence is being enforced and i unfortunately, there are some people who no matter what laws theyre demonstrated to violate the law theyll violate the law weve pass hundred laws with that said, i mentioned i outlined several amendments at the beginning of the hearing i want to proceed with them i guess one by one the first is i think it the most significant making sure were just tighten the language around the nuisance violations so i did state that amendments at the beginning weve got unanimous support. Thank you to alled to accompany with that amendment i mepdz up the payment and line numbers at the beginning i want to make sure im stating the correct line numbers this is to do with the paragraph on page 9 lines it 2 deletes the lines when the landlords commence it starts with the tenant and on line 21 in the, comma insert quote the activists are severe or reoccurring in nature comma thats the First Amendment ill move that amendment. Without observation let me context any discussion on the prototype amendment supervisor wiener is proposing. This is on the first thing on. Page 22 lines. So well take that without objection. This amendment passes. All right. So the Second Amendment which first of all, im not going to based my discussion with mr. Collier when he was giving Public Comment im not going to move the caregiver exception because according to mr. Collier that exists under state law and hes been so involved im defer not move that i do continue to think that the i supported flexibility in people having roormentd im supportive of what was passed in terms o
