> Some neighbours are excessively noisy or cause a nuisance in other ways. For a long-term neighbour, you can probably fix the problem within a few weeks, and it stays fixed. I don't believe this is remotely true in San Francisco. It is essentially impossible to effectively solve such a problem, ie by eviction if necessary. In a long-term rental in San Francisco, I believe "an excessively noisy neighbor is forever". I live in nearby Oakland, with similar tenancy laws. I have in fact had a neighbor so abusive that I believe if he were an AirBnb tenant, I'd be able to have him gone before the end of his AirBnb stay. His behavior is so bad he might not even be able to ever get an AirBnb again afterwards; for example, he literally epoxied the locks of his apartment as he left. In any case, as an actual renter, he was able to stay much longer. My emails indicate that he was my neighbor AND abusive for over 2.5 months. (He eventually did something so bad that he was able to be evicted.)
