Here is a link Ellis Act Evictions
So I ask again if you can tell me where you found that she did not pay her rent or if that is just an assumption on your part.
( I live in SF) her rent was probably really low, too, because of rent control. She’d probably been there a very long time and was paying pennies on the dollar.
Not her “fault.”
But another horrible result of rent control is, people get evicted, like for Ellis Act, because landlords can’t raise their rent hardly at all.
You’re wasting your time. He’s an idiot.
