seriously. wtf is with these renters that think they own the place
when you rent, you are the landlords bitch. they can *generally* kick your ass out with 30 days notice, with or without a reason. its THEIR house. and yes, thats how it should be.

If it's within the law, it's not a scam...it's the price of doing real estate business in SF. The laws are clear. If a real estate investor doesn't want to play, they don't have to.

.Not in SF.
Lots of people have longer leases. In that case, I don't think they can kick you out mid-lease without reason.seriously. wtf is with these renters that think they own the place

yea obviously if there is a lease then the owner should hold to that - UNLESS THEY SELL THE PLACE. granted the landlord should do the right thing and wait until the lease is over; but that doesnt always make financial sense for the property OWNER. agreed w/ the above tho, as far as your rights OP, no one here is gonna know. you gotta follow the links above to get a real answer
and yeah, fuck SF. my mom taught me when i was a wee little lad, to NEVER buy a house (as a rental) in SF. NEVER. hell, never buy a house in SF in general aint a bad idea either...

It is written in law that the owner must pay out the renter if I remember correctly, up to $5001.00. Are you telling me that it isn't advantageous to the renter to request money to move out if the cards are stacked in his favor? Would you look the other way if your landlord said take 5,000.00 and move? Did you even think about what its like to move in SF and find a new place at the same rate? How about those costs onto the renter?

Exactly.
The misplaced sense of entitlement makes me want to puke.

Transfer of ownership does not nullify a legally binding agreement. Good thing, too.

Op is not in Sf. He has 30 days if that. Depends on the last lease and it's terms. If it goes to a tenancy at will then he has a day to move out. If it goes month to month then he has 30 days. Sf rules do not apply in Daly City or San Mateo county.
Op- I understand all too well. Going through something similar right now w/ my landlord and I'm also in DAly City where the renters rights are much less strong.

I will never fuxxing EVER invest in rental properties, dealing with bullshit laws and "tennant rights" would send me over the edge and I would probably fuxxing kill somebody! And to be a landlord in SF must be the peak of insanity, you have virtually zero control of your property and the deck is so stacked against you it's FRIDICULOUS!

i know, renters need to be better at being rich so they can buy their own property.

You don't think SF's tenant "protections" go too far? Do you think it might reduce the supply of rental housing?

See here is the thing. The owner at anytime can kick everyone out but they would have to do some remodeling or move a relative in. Or just take the rental off the market for X amount of years. The issue is someone that owns a house is trying to price gouge. If the owner doesn't like the rules then move into the god damn house or remodel it and put it back on the market.
Asthmodeus, god forbid that people feel like they ought to be able to write and abide by commercially reasonable contractual terms of their own choosing, without rampant meddling by a local government bent on enforcing a public policy that in the end, exacerbates housing shortages, transfers normal property rights to people that have no equity interest in the property, and arbitrarily protects a small group of privileged people from economic dislocation, to the expense of both landlords and other renters, who have to fight over the remaining small pool of inventory.
I just heard another story of a landlord who is getting divorced from his partner, and needs to sell his current residence and move back into a unit in his rental. Of course, the current renters are sniffing around trying to figure out how they can fight it.

Sure they go to far. That is why I don't own rental property in SF.
It is a free country and if you chose to be a landlord in SF, you are bound to the laws in place. Don't like it, then don't do it.

Anyone who is stupid enough to own rent property in San Francisco deserves what they get from the tenant's rights groups.
SF, the only place where owning property doesn't really mean owning property.
