You know, Nancy; I don’t know you and I don’t know the landlord and I may be completely wrong on this; but the behavior exhibited by the tenant – the posting of signs spelling out her displeasure with the landlord (to put it lightly), is very aggressive and contentious. It kind of jive with the landlord’s version of event – of an aggressive tenant giving them hell. Maybe this is a desperate act by a desperate individual but I personally would not want to live next to someone like that. Thanks god there is no one crazy like that in my building.

I think you are friends with the real estate agent. You know as much about the Ellis Act as any Ellised tenant!

THANKS but there never was an eviction because all their charges are fake which is why they filed Ellis. Under Prop. M this is forbidden by the rent board. A wrongful eviction form has just been filed.

You should have checked out your new neighbors before you buy or buy your own seperate place so you don’t have to harrass people who are comfortable in their home.

I am the crazy tenant (15 years)who writes the signs. I feel people who make fun of desperate people are not very nice. The landlord that wrote about me is not the landlord at all but the T.I.C. owner upstairs. He is a real estate investor and only bought the upstairs to evict me. When their false eviction didn’t get me to move then they ellised the building.However, their abuse didn’t stop. Today, I was granted a temporary restraining order (I have filed several). I also have a harrassment case pending in small claims court. I have over 25 recorded police calls in 8 months. I have used H.A.P. E.D.C. and am in touch with the tenants union. Thanks for the sincere support and suggestions.

Dear Friends – I was completely unaware of the existence of this blog. Just today someone told me about it, so with a great interest I read your entries. So… my wife and I are co-owners with another person of this building and, yes, we are invoking Ellis Act, but only out of sheer desperation – for the past a year-and-half we have lived through hell. The woman who rents the downstairs unit (from our co-owner) and entertains the neighborhood with her prolific signage is an extremely aggressive and displays all the symptoms of delusional paranoia. Almost every morning we wake up to her banging on the walls (4-5 am), heavy stomping on the floors, yelling to us from the backyard, playing blaringly loud music, etc. We find our front door handle smeared with honey, grease or peanut butter on a daily basis, not to mention the human feces on our door step. She makes false accusations that we destroy her plants, read her mail, throw stones at her cat and plenty of other mischief. Despite the fact that we put lots of money and effort into creating a beautiful backyard, we have stopped even going outside into our backyard as she verbally assaults us, we can’t have any social life at our home and we are subject to abusive accusations thrown at us when we take out trash, or simply leave home (she yells at us from her window). She fabricated a story of us being “professional evictors” who just want to get her out, so we can convert to condos. Her actions became so unbearable that back in December we moved from own place and rented a place for two months, just so we could get some rest from that daily abuse. Ellis Act was the last resort. When we concluded that we can’t live under the same roof with this psychotic individual, we offered her a substantial amount of money, free rent for half a year and the house to herself (we would’ve stayed away until she moved). She turned that offer down. Ellis Act took off 10-15% off the value of the property right off the bat. We’ll never be able to convert to condominiums, but this is the worthy price for having a home where we don’t feel threatened all the time. So, as you see a new crop of signs and accusations popping up in her window (almost daily occurrence) just think about what you might not see – a daily ordeal of people who live in the same house.

Yeah, because the ability to terminate a lease by a tenant AND a landlord is pretty much a universal thing – anywhere that is, except for in San Francisco. Pretty much everywhere else in the country, either side gives their notice (usually one month) and the apartment is empty.

Now, I think that rent protections are a good thing, but to SF’s laws don’t really do much to protect the tenant in my opinion. All they’ve done is artificially raised rents by a substantial amount, and made it advantageous for property owners to keep units empty for years on end rather than re-renting them.

Abuse in the Garden would be an excellent band name.

I walk past this place all the time. The signs change on a regular basis and I get a certain…. crazy vibe. That doesn’t mean that woman and her kid aren’t being unfairly treated, but it does make the whole situation a bit more confusing.
