re: San Francisco is officially the most expensive rental market in the country

I believe rent control applies only to multi-unit buildings of 4 or more units built before 1979.

Single family homes excluded.

And if you want to turn your apartment rental building into a condo, you have to go through an Ellis Act eviction. It will cost you upwards of tens of thousands PER TENANT to evict.

I have friends that have lived in buildings that tried to convert. They were offered upwards of $50,000 to move out. Some just simply state, "nope." And if tenants are over 65, you cannot evict them. At all.

No thank you to being a landlord in SF.
