Landlord Prerogatives to Evict Tenants in San Francisco, CA

As San Francisco landlord-tenant lawyers, our attorneys of Steven Adair MacDonald & Partners, P.C. resolve more than 300 landlord-tenant disputes a year, many involving Owner-Move-In and illegal unit evictions. We have a combined 100+ years of experience in landlord-tenant and real estate law in San Francisco and the Bay Area. There are 16 lawful reasons for renter eviction in San Francisco; seven relate to the behavior of the tenant and nine are landlord prerogatives. Some of these are:
  • Owner-Move-In
  • Condo conversion and sale of property
  • Demolition or removal of an illegal unit (such as a mother-in-law apartment)
  • Temporary eviction for renovation and capital improvements
  • Temporary eviction for lead removal
  • Permanent eviction for rehabilitation of units in a building over 50 years old and either condemned or worthy of being condemned
  • Ellis Act – the removal of a building from the rental market altogether

Resolution of Conflicts on Landlord Prerogatives

From the standpoint of potential tenant lawsuits against the landlord, condo conversions, temporary evictions, demolition evictions, and Ellis Act evictions can be very difficult for a tenant to defend against. This is because the law clearly states how much compensation and notice tenants are to be given in these situations. Owner-move-in lawsuits, on the other hand, could be expensive, difficult, and involve drawn out proceedings. To illustrate, if the owner is a first-time buyer of a single-family home with no previous relationship to the tenant, the case for owner-move-in eviction is clear-cut. However, if the owner is seeking to evict a renter in a multi-unit building with whom the owner has had a less-than-perfect relationship in the past, the owner’s good faith eviction motives will come into question. If you’re unsure whether you have landlord prerogatives to evict a tenant, our San Francisco real estate attorneys and landlord-tenant lawyers can review your case and assist you in the eviction process.
