DESCRIPTION:Stop the Eviction Picket !!!  When:  Monday, March 21  Time:  5:00 PM  
 Where: 1353-57 Folsom (between 9th & 10th Streets)  The Scoop:  Uldarico is 
 a 70 year-old Filipino immigrant who lives with his family in a  three-unit 
 building in SOMA. The building houses over 20 people including seniors and 
 young  children. All are facing eviction under the Ellis Act. Uldarico 
 worked for the state for years  before retiring in 1999. He and his wife, 
 Lolita (67), have lived in the building since 1979.  Their children and 
 young grandchildren live with them – three generations residing together 
 in  affordable, rent-controlled housing. Amparo and Romulo, 72 years old, 
 reside in another  apartment in the building. Their son Hector works for a 
 local landscaper. Hector has lived in  the apartment for over a decade. His 
 parents are retired. Maria, age 62, and her family live in  the building as 
 well. Her son Ricardo is a tow truck driver in San Francisco. They are  
 immigrants from Mexico. The family has lived in the apartment for over a 
 decade. Now their new  landlords, Alda and Joe Chan, are evicting all the 
 tenants under the Ellis   Act.      Another Unjust Ellis Eviction Done 
 Within Days of The Landlord Buying The Building !!!!  Clearly, this is an 
 eviction for speculation and conversion of the building—the Chan's bought 
  the building March 12, 2004 and decided to "go out of the business of 
 being a landlord " 18 days  later on March 30, when, they served the 
 tenants eviction notices under the state Ellis Act.  Supposedly, Ellis 
 allows landlords to "get out of the rental business." If the Chan's didn't  
 want to be in the rental business, why did they buy this apartment 
 building?? Probably because  they can evict the tenants here and get a huge 
 profit by converting the building to condos. This  is exactly the type of 
 abuse of the Ellis Act that Assembly Member Mark Leno is seeking to stop  
 with his legislation (Assembly Bill 781) requiring a landlord to own a 
 building for at least 5  years before they can use Ellis to evict all of 
 the tenants to "get out of the business" of  being a landlord.     For more
