Eviction Notice In San Francisco: Volume I. For-Fault Evictions. Version 2. (Volume 1)

This book is a collection of commentaries on elements necessary to consider in issuing an eviction notice in San Francisco. Sufficiency of an eviction notice is a question of failure or success of the entire eviction process. It is not just a piece of the puzzle, it is the fundamental cornerstone. While landlords can fail elsewhere, without a proper notice they may not succeed. It is even more so in the City and County of San Francisco, a municipality with an enforced eviction control, where the local ordinance dictates what properties and what kinds of eviction are regulated on the county level, and what is required of an eviction notice to be enforceable. Drafting a notice is the eviction’s first step, and it should be done right. This book educates on how to find—or better, avoid—common mistakes made by the notice drafters. The material is equally useful in defense, helping to identify noncompliance in someone else’s notice. The author hopes its readers will enjoy the book. This is the first installment, now revised through the 2015 amendments of the Rent Ordinance, and it covers requirements for eviction notices issued for “for-fault” evictions, the first nine “just causes” available under the San Francisco eviction ordinance. Next publication will address the “no fault” evictions.
