My understanding is you don't "qualify" for rent control in SF. You automatically get it when you move into a building built before 1979.
Then the landlord can only increase rent (as a general rule) by about 1% per year.
So there are people living in 4 bedroom homes in the middle of the best parts of the Mission paying $1000 a month in rent where market rate would be between $6000-8000.

- sjg007 12y agoThey can't just kick out the current tenants to do that.
