Stop Anti-Rent Control Legislation

From website of San Francisco Tenants Union http://www.sftu.org/
The legislation is a huge gift to property owners: they will be able to rent out non-rent controlled apartments and the condominium form of ownership will increase the value of their property by well over 20%. This gift to landlords comes at a time when tenants are facing record high rents–and landlords are getting record profits and seeing the value of their buildings soar.

The legislation will let any property which has 2 or more owner occupants pay a fee to become a condominium. These are about 2,000 such buildings will be eligible. If this legislation passes, we can expect to see a sharp increase in evictions as landlords will anticipate that City Hall will let them move in and then repeal rent control.

Please call or Email all 11 supervisors, all Democrats, some of whom are anti-rent control.
