Measure EE Just Cause for Eviction
THE "EVICTION RESTRICTION" ORDINANCE
What is Eviction Restriction?
Eviction Restriction is not the same as Rent Control. Eviction Restriction, improperly and misleadingly dubbed "Just Cause For Eviction" by its proponents, severely restricts a property owner's ability to evict a tenant from any residential unit built before 1983. The Measure would allow owners to evict a tenant ONLY IF the tenant:
does not pay the rent
violates the terms of the lease
substantially damages the unit, or
is convicted of a crime in the unit (eg, dealing drugs)
..
