The citys general plan and your priorities as the commission and currently a family of four lives there. The parents are immigrants from Central America and they have two young children, and and theres a history at this property of the current owner trying to force those tenants out and so i dont think that its an accident that the plan was to convert their one bedroom into a studio and make it impossible for them to live there. So one thing i wanted to bring up was that when and if the permit is approved, the tenants will be displaced temporarily and i wanted im not sure how its possible, but to minimize the dislocation of those tenants during that process because the the rent ordinance requires payment of relocation money for three months, and they dont get additional money if theyre out of the apartment beyond those three months.

But to me, theres a big difference between the two, someone whos getting displaced, but i assume when you move into an illegal unit, you know what youre getting into. [ inaudible ] Vice President richards sir, please. Ill step in and make a comment. I think i already said i agree with that, as well. Buyer beware. Vice president richards right. Thats what i was going to say. Commissioner melgar. Commissioner melgar i was just going to, you know, just agree. I think that, you know, people dont move into an illegal unit sort of oh, buyer beware. I think theyre theyre paying rent, you know, for a unit that is substandard and illegal, then, the burden of proof is not on the renter, its on the property owner.
