Could you not put ejection conditions in the lease itself? (SF resident here, but with no experience in landlording). I'm wondering why can't a landlord put in the lease a term like "if tenant does not pay rent for 30 days, tenant gives up all of his rights and landlord has the right to eject tenant within 15 days".

You generally can't put illegal terms in a contact like that.

No. It’s pretty common for tenancy laws to make all other condition “void and unenforceable”.
