NEWS & HEADLINES FOR SRO's IN SAN FRANCISCO
Beyond Chron focused on two issues this last week (April 18, 2007). Here is a recap of a blurb and summary of another article printed:
Randy Shar reports on retraction by City of plans to cut health care funding for SRO's in San Francisco -
"Prior to the April 17 Health Commission hearing, Director Mitch Katz withdrew the proposal to eliminate funding for the city's SRO Collaboratives. Many SRO tenants turned out to testify, and were thrilled to learn that the vital program was spared." [full text]
A second Beyond Chron article on 4/18/07 by paul Hogarth titled, "A Tenant Law Nobody Knows About"...Hogarth updates readers on their protective rights against eviction from an SRO Hotel in San Francisco, with a one page article, beginning as follows:
"If your landlord allows a major code violation to persist for 35 days after a Housing Inspector has issued a citation, it is illegal under state law for them to collect rent or evict you for non-payment." This is according to tenant code 1942.4. [For feedback contact attorney Paul Hogarth at paul@beyondchron.org. His article can be read by clicking fishbowl
