In SF, you can only be kicked out for serious violations or when the owners take the unit off the market (and can’t rent it again for 5 years). Otherwise you can stay as long as you pay rent.

As a landlord in SF you lose a lot of rights to your property.

Even taking it off the market induces huge Ellis Act compensation obligations.

Indeed. A few years back SF passed a law that the landlord had to pay the difference between the current rent and market rent (on a new place) for two years.

That could easily be $50-60k or more.

Thankfully the courts struck that law down.
