> San Francisco Tenants Break Leases At Alarming Rates > The survey revealed that 16 percent of owners reported residents broke their leases or unexpectedly gave a 30-Day Notice to Vacate. An unexpected 30-day notice is how my Bay Area lease terminated gracefully. Like, it was required that I do that, by the contract written by my landlord. But I don't consider graceful, agreed upon move-outs as "breaking" a lease, which to me implies someone trying to get out of the contract. But also… this would be hardly surprising? My rent was going up 10% YoY when I left, and it was clear that Bay Area politics were never going to fix the rampant housing problems. With all the layoffs I've read about as a result of COVID-19, I bet some people are moving out! (I moved prior to all this craziness.) One of my co-workers even told me that he had every intention of protecting "his" piece of the pie, as much as possible, by letting as little as possible get built as he could as a voter. It was just amazing to me how so many people thought they had the right to tell other people what they could not do with "their" land. Zoning is one thing, but the Bay Area is a whole different thing.
