While there are many things hillariously bad about this article, his first mistake may be in assuming that renting his apartment is even covered by rent control. This is not an uncommon mistake either, there are some pretty dumb landlords out there.
The SF Rent board covers most of the exclusions in plain english.
- x0x0 13y agoTo fill in: post 1979 construction is exempt, and condo'd units require just cause eviction but have no controls on rent increase (my understanding is the landlord can arbitrarily raise the rent.) I'm not sure how TICs are covered. Source: I've sued a landlord for blatant violations of sf rental law, and at one point, had 5 lawyers involved. The experience sucked ass and, in practice, tenant protections in sf are tissue thin when when a landlord is malicious. also: Bryan is a former ibanker. I'd be shocked, shocked! to find out he's a mixture of stupid and venal. Also, any lawyer involved in a rent lawsuit against Bryan will hopefully find this article and it certainly can be admitted as evidence.
