We have lived in our flat for 9 years. Last year our landlord increased our rent by $100 to “make up for the years she hadn’t increased it”. We though you could only increase it by a certain amount per year, so it would have been just from the past year, right, not the previous years as well? If this is not legal, how can we correct it and her her to reduce our rent?

..New Thought: Why is there no movement in SF to create “Community Land Trusts”, that would own the underlying land, and let renters get a piece of equity, even if they don’t have enough for the usual downpayment, or don’t want to “jump in” with both feet, into the sometimes risky business of buying a home.???

that the tenant need not even pay the increase effective with the 13th month… The Notice was defective on ifs face, and, so…a nullity… Let the owner come to his senses, and issue a proper, binding Notice….
