Unwarranted units in San Francisco, or in the vernacular of the city, "Unauthorized Dwelling Units" have always been a thorn in the side of landlords and for that matter, our firm as well. We discuss new impediments that San Francisco imposes to remove these units without first legalizing them.
We want you to know that a properly drafted tenant buyout agreement can remove many troubles that could arise from renting out these rogue units and our office is happy to accomplish this goal.
On a more positive note, a lawsuit challenging San Francisco's vacancy tax is moving along. We trust that our industry partners and their counsel will make a cogent argument that if you own something, you can choose to use it or choose not to use it without governmental interference.
Pivoting to unincorporated parts of Alameda County, housing providers are at a standstill as tenant and landlord groups engage in a dialogue about increased protections for renters, even though there is an abundance of protections in place on the state level.
If you haven't already tuned in, we invite you to view our latest webinar on the best practices in property management given the challenges landlords confront.
Thank you for following us as we attempt to make sense of nonsense in an ever-complicated regulatory regime.
Onward,
