Eviction

San Francisco public housing is not including Earned Income Disregard when they calculate the rents of residents who have a job, or training program. According to the law passed by Congress in 1999, every public housing resident over 18 yrs old is eligible for Earned Income Disregard, if they qualify. Therfore PHA residents in all cities and states, including San Francisco can have their income disregarded for up to one year at 100% of the income. This means your rent stays at the lower amount for 1 year, so PHA residents can save and become self sufficient.

My husband,his brother & myself are all disabled & for the first time in my life I know what homeless is like, only because I was standing up for what is right, not for me but someone else & I am still taking that stand. My landlord evicted us illegally & he stalked me, but I will still do the right thing. I just pray we can find a place to live soon. Doing What's Rright . This was my horse, landlord killed him shortly after we left. less than two months ago

When I moved into my condo it needed alot of repairs. The repairs included: non working heat/air unit, no working fire alarms, painting/walls were badly soiled, and patio storage filled with all sorts of junk left from former tenant. The landlord agreed to credit the work. After moving in, discovered that the heat/air unit did not work, and didnt realize that there was no hood or venilation for over stove. When there's smoke from kitchen must open window. A few months after moving in I lost my good paying job, and fell behind 2 months in partial rent.

In Oct of 2012 I called code enforcement on the landlord, a woman who knows nothing about real estate has since retaliated by trying to evict myself and my roommate. My roommate and I had to pay for an attorney and then went to fair housing and they have opened an investigation for all kinds of miss deeds and quoting laws that do not exist.

I wanted to update everyone on the battle we are having with the investment company Rancho Horizon LLc / Griffin Residential that purchased the home we have a lease through Dec. 2013. For over 9 months they continue to harass, break multiple civil codes and ignore Federal Laws. We have already been in contact with other tenants that have been harassed by this company. They continue to use scare tactics and harass my family to try to get us to vacate. We need to stand up and get your voices heard about this type of behavior.

I am facing an eviction which i feel has been illegally forced up on me by perpertrators that were denying me employment,healthcare, and humane living conditions suitable for children and raising a family. What happened was i was living as caregiver for my grandparents before they passed away. the house went into foreclosure after they passed away and since i didnt have job or wasnt attending college. I didnt have work experience which looked good for my resume to employers.

Landlords have been found in violation of illegally renting apartments that are considered occupant non-permitted and uninhabitable conditions; rather than landlords working with tenant, we have been illegally evicted with unlawful detainer and have been retaliated against. Landlords have an attorney who is not willing to communicate with us and making it extremely difficult for us. I suffer from HIV, anxiety, depression, heart palpitations and high blood pressure; it is unfortunate that they do not care about our health during the process of litigation in small claims court.
