Time for a Study of the Effects
of San Francisco Rent Control
March 05, 2010 | 4 Comments
All San Francisco properties with a first Certificate of Occupancy that was issued prior to June 13th, 1979 are subject to rent control. If a rental unit was in regular use prior to June 13th, 1979, but does not have a Certificate of Occupancy — an illegal unit — the San Francisco Rent Board will still find the unit subject to rent control. This means rents can only be raised by certain amounts per year, which is tied to inflation. Landlords can also petition for other increases, e.g., for capital improvements for a maximum of 10 percent or for increased operating and maintenance costs for a maximum of 7 percent. In addition, tenants can petition the Rent Board to decrease their rent if the landlord is failing to provide agreed upon or legally required services. Tenants can only be evicted for one of fourteen “just causes.”
