NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

THE RENT BOARD COMMISSIONERS INVITE THE PUBLIC TO COMMENT ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE RESIDENTIAL RENT STABILIZATION AND ARBITRATION ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 37 OF THE SAN FRANCISCO ADMINISTRATIVE CODE.

THE COMMISSION IS TAKING PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE LANGUAGE THAT FOLLOWS AMENDING SECTION 6.11(a). The proposed amendments are intended to clarify the intent and purpose of this section. The Board will also be considering the effective date of the amended regulation, and whether it will apply to pending cases.

Rules and Regulations Section 6.11(a) is amended as follows (strikethrough for deletions and double underline for additions): Note: Section (a) is the only portion of this section being amended and therefore this version omits the balance of the section not affected.

(a) Petition Based on Extraordinary Circumstances
      (1) The provisions of this Section 6.11(a) shall apply only in extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to the following situations:
             (A) where, because of a special relationship between the landlord and tenant, or through due to fraud, mental incompetency, or some other reason extraordinary circumstances unrelated to market conditions, the initial rent on a unit was set very low or the rent was not increased or was increased only negligible amounts during the tenancy; or  
             (B) where the landlord became owner of record of a Proposition I Affected Unit between September 1, 1993 and December 22, 1994, or where the landlord entered into an agreement to purchase a Proposition I Affected Unit which agreement became non-contingent on or after September 1, 1993 and before November 9, 1994, and, in becoming owner of record or entering into the purchase agreement, the landlord relied on the ability to increase rents without limitation from the Rent Ordinance.
                  Passage of Proposition I at the November 1994 election does not in and of itself satisfy this Section 6.11(a)(1), though it may be considered.
