San Francisco has Rent Control ordinances, so as long as the unit was legal, she could have stayed there for the rest of her life (which she probably expected).

- nilkn 13y ago> so as long as the unit was legal It wasn't, according to this article. She took a risk.
- radley 13y agoWhat if she was just "renting a room" and the new owner simply labelled it an "inlaw" as a legal loophole? [Update] I didn't see the pic. Yeah, it's clearly in a different building, so an in-law.
- CocaKoala 13y agoSaying that if you change the details of a story, then the details are different doesn't actually mean anything and doesn't have any bearing on the story as it happened.
- head_stomp 13y agoThat's incorrect according to your own link: Illegal Units are covered by rent control. Illegal units, such as in-law apartments, are covered by rent control. Tenants can only be evicted for one of 15 "just causes." Most of these deal with allegations the tenant can dispute (e.g., tenant is violating the lease) but some are "no-fault" like owner move in or Ellis.
- refurb 13y agoNot the rest of her life if the owners decided to remove the unit from the rental market.
