Rent Ordinance Measure Moves Forward at City Hall
The movement to protect tenants’ rights gained critical ground Wednesday when the Board of Supervisors Land Use and Economic Development Committee recommended that a tenant protection measure move forward. The residential rent ordinance would clarify existing law and require landlords to prove just cause when severing services included with a rental unit. The specific services in question were primarily related to common areas including access to garages and parking spaces, laundry facilities, lobbies, storage units, and yards. The measure was sponsored by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi and co-sponsored by Supervisors Daly and Peskin.
