Crackdown on Fraudulent SF Evictions Passes Unanimously After NBC Bay Area Investigation Reveals Widespread Abuse

The ordinance comes in direct response to a year-long NBC Bay Area investigation into owner move-in evictions that revealed what appears to be wide spread abuse by landlords who want to get rid of rent-controlled tenants. Bigad Shaban reports on a story that first aired on Tuesday, June 27.
