But as a number of \"Forum\" commenters have pointed out, there are many factors that add to the problem of scarce, expensive housing, including the relatively small slice of land available for development in the inner Bay Area and the increased competition for housing as the regional economy improves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As KQED's \"Priced Out\" series continues, we're hearing a whole spectrum of views on housing prices and evictions. Here's a brief list of reasons landlords say they're not responsible for the current rental housing crunch. The quotes below are from KQED's \"Forum\" last Friday: \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201311080900\" target=\"_blank\">Evictions on the Rise in San Francisco\u003c/a>.

Not All Landlords Are Created Equal\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"Forum\" hour featured lots of complaints about big real-estate firms and corporate-style landlords raising rents and evicting tenants. But the Bay Area has plenty of small landlords who have a completely different way of doing business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One property owner, referred to only as \"Jeanne\" at her request, said she was a \"mom-and-pop landlord\" running a business \"not any different than owning a bakery.\" Jeanne's family has been in San Francisco \"for over a hundred years,\" and her mother bought a building 40 years ago. \"That’s what supported our family. We are not part of the affluent class. Now that I have a family, I cannot afford to move out of the one-bedroom apartment in this building.\" Jeanne said her family has developed relationships with their tenants, helping to take care of them as they age.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We are not part of the affluent class. Now that I have a family, I cannot afford to move out of my one-bedroom apartment.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Landlords Get Screwed, Too\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chances are that at some point, your landlord has suffered at the hands of bad tenants or life circumstances. Mike in San Francisco called in during the show to share the story of what sounds like a generous landlord who found himself needing money because of health problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>My wife’s uncle had two tenants in a building in the Marina and for 30 plus years he never raised the rent. He was a wonderful landlord. And he got dementia and needed to go into assisted care and the family needed to sell the building and what I don’t understand is — the two tenants who are in there — the longer you stay, you earn basically equity in the building. Because whoever wants to buy that building has to give those two tenants a huge payout in order to get them out of the building or keep them at $300 a month. You know, no matter whether you’re a teacher or whatever your role is in the community, at a certain point there has to be some way to measure the fact that you have been the beneficiary of when you have a great landlord.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As easy as it is to vilify landlords for evicting tenants so that they can sell a property, some landlords may simply need the money. When you consider that possibility, selling to the highest bidder seems more a logical economic decision and less an act of greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And let's not forget that just as all landlords are not created equal, neither are tenants. Jeanne praised many of her tenants but added, \"We also have tenants who destroy the property, who harass other tenants, who steal and vandalize, and we can’t get them out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. The Rules Have Changed for Many Landlords\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal has changed for some longtime landlords in cities such as San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, which have approved rent control laws over the years.

Here's a brief list of reasons landlords say they're not responsible for the current rental housing crunch. The quotes below are from KQED's \"Forum\" last Friday: \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201311080900\" target=\"_blank\">Evictions on the Rise in San Francisco\u003c/a>.

But the Bay Area has plenty of small landlords who have a completely different way of doing business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One property owner, referred to only as \"Jeanne\" at her request, said she was a \"mom-and-pop landlord\" running a business \"not any different than owning a bakery.\" Jeanne's family has been in San Francisco \"for over a hundred years,\" and her mother bought a building 40 years ago. \"That’s what supported our family.

Landlords Get Screwed, Too\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chances are that at some point, your landlord has suffered at the hands of bad tenants or life circumstances. Mike in San Francisco called in during the show to share the story of what sounds like a generous landlord who found himself needing money because of health problems:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>My wife’s uncle had two tenants in a building in the Marina and for 30 plus years he never raised the rent. He was a wonderful landlord. And he got dementia and needed to go into assisted care and the family needed to sell the building and what I don’t understand is — the two tenants who are in there — the longer you stay, you earn basically equity in the building. Because whoever wants to buy that building has to give those two tenants a huge payout in order to get them out of the building or keep them at $300 a month. You know, no matter whether you’re a teacher or whatever your role is in the community, at a certain point there has to be some way to measure the fact that you have been the beneficiary of when you have a great landlord.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As easy as it is to vilify landlords for evicting tenants so that they can sell a property, some landlords may simply need the money. When you consider that possibility, selling to the highest bidder seems more a logical economic decision and less an act of greed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And let's not forget that just as all landlords are not created equal, neither are tenants. Jeanne praised many of her tenants but added, \"We also have tenants who destroy the property, who harass other tenants, who steal and vandalize, and we can’t get them out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. The Rules Have Changed for Many Landlords\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal has changed for some longtime landlords in cities such as San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, which have approved rent control laws over the years. Sara Shortt, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, a tenants' group, said on the show that \"landlords know what they’ve gotten into when they buy property, and they know what our laws are and they’ve decided to sign up.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that's not always the case.

However, it does allow local governments to impose a variety of requirements on such property owners, which can include providing tenant relocation assistance, giving specific notice periods and having deed restrictions on future use of the property. For example, a city could require an owner who re-rents “Ellised” property within a certain period of time to first offer it to any displaced former tenants, at the original rental rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Local impact\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is little comprehensive data on Ellis Act evictions statewide. But in cities like San Francisco, with high rents and strict local rent control laws, Ellis Act evictions often go up during periods when home sales increase. That was the case during the dot-com boom that ended in 2000 and again during the housing bubble that peaked in 2005. Ellis Act evictions are up again now as the city's real estate market recovers from the recession and as the tech boom spurs demand for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chart below, by San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"http://dangrover.com/about\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Grover\u003c/a>, shows Ellis Act evictions in the city since 1998, comparing rates with all no-fault evictions (including Ellis but also those due to capital improvements, demolition, owner move-in or substantial rehabilitation) during the same period.

It required that landlords who sought to exit the rental market first obtain a permit that could only be issued if a strict set of conditions were met. Among them, landlords were required to prove that the unit in question was not occupied by a person of low or moderate income and to demonstrate that the unit’s removal from the rental market would not adversely affect the city’s housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerome Nash, a 17-year-old student whose mother had bought him a $260,000 rental property in Santa Monica before the ordinance was adopted, sought to get out of the rental business and demolish the building. He initially applied for a permit to do so, but ended up suing the city to circumvent the process. In \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/nash-v-city-santa-monica-28399\">court documents\u003c/a>, he's quoted as stating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is only one thing I want to do, and that is to evict the group of ingrates inhabiting my units, tear down the building, and hold on to the land until I can sell it at a price which will not mean a ruinous loss on my investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nash prevailed in trial court and on appeal. But his case was ultimately dismissed by California’s Supreme Court in 1984, which ruled in \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/nash-v-city-santa-monica-28399\">\u003cem>Nash v.

For example, a city could require an owner who re-rents “Ellised” property within a certain period of time to first offer it to any displaced former tenants, at the original rental rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Local impact\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is little comprehensive data on Ellis Act evictions statewide. But in cities like San Francisco, with high rents and strict local rent control laws, Ellis Act evictions often go up during periods when home sales increase. That was the case during the dot-com boom that ended in 2000 and again during the housing bubble that peaked in 2005. Ellis Act evictions are up again now as the city's real estate market recovers from the recession and as the tech boom spurs demand for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chart below, by San Francisco's \u003ca href=\"http://dangrover.com/about\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Grover\u003c/a>, shows Ellis Act evictions in the city since 1998, comparing rates with all no-fault evictions (including Ellis but also those due to capital improvements, demolition, owner move-in or substantial rehabilitation) during the same period.

It required that landlords who sought to exit the rental market first obtain a permit that could only be issued if a strict set of conditions were met. Among them, landlords were required to prove that the unit in question was not occupied by a person of low or moderate income and to demonstrate that the unit’s removal from the rental market would not adversely affect the city’s housing supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerome Nash, a 17-year-old student whose mother had bought him a $260,000 rental property in Santa Monica before the ordinance was adopted, sought to get out of the rental business and demolish the building. He initially applied for a permit to do so, but ended up suing the city to circumvent the process. In \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/nash-v-city-santa-monica-28399\">court documents\u003c/a>, he's quoted as stating:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is only one thing I want to do, and that is to evict the group of ingrates inhabiting my units, tear down the building, and hold on to the land until I can sell it at a price which will not mean a ruinous loss on my investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nash prevailed in trial court and on appeal. But his case was ultimately dismissed by California’s Supreme Court in 1984, which ruled in \u003ca href=\"http://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/nash-v-city-santa-monica-28399\">\u003cem>Nash v.
