Why can't they tell the tennet to move out? In Australia residential leases have a fixed term (usually 12 months) and after that become month-to-month, and the owner can ask you to leave with 90 days notice when you're not under a contract.

They did, in a hostile way. Then again, maybe the tenant refused to move out.

  Someone paying significantly below market rate is almost certainly going to refuse to move out.

In SF the only real way to kick someone out of a rent controlled unit is via an Ellis Act eviction. The allows the owner to take the building off the market. Issue is, you need to pay a substantial fee to the tenant (many thousands if they've been there a long time) AND you cannot rent the unit out again for 5 years.

  it actually sounds fair, doesn't it?

    Sarcasm? How does that sound fair for the owner. Not being able to rent out your apartment for 5(!) years is ridiculous.

      then dont stop renting it... sounds like the buyer should have guaranteed cash cows.. well, bad luck, guaranteed cash cows are NOT fair.

I believe there are also provisions in Australian law that allow a landlord to evict in a much shorter time period, at least where a detached house is concerned. I was asked to vacate my previous place within 14 days due to difficulties experienced by the landlord, complete with legal documents and such.
