Proof Positive

Bill would require landlords to accept tenant-provided screening reports.

Proposed Bill Mandates TenantProvided Screening Reports

A new bill proposed by Assemblymember Tina McKinnor (D-Inglewood) would mandate that landlords allow prospective tenants to provide their own screening reports when they apply for rental housing, and would also prevent owners from charging screening fees if such reports were provided. The bill, AB 1963, is being opposed by the California Apartment Association (CAA) on the grounds that it would compromise reliability and safety, and increase liability risk. While AB 1963 states that portable reports must be provided “by a tenant screening company approved by the Department of Housing and Community Development,” property owners and managers may still be left vulnerable to fraudulent documents—especially in the age of AI.

A previous bill, AB 2559, which was signed into law by Governor Newsom, made the acceptance of portable

screening reports allowable, but not mandatory. CAA opposes AB 1963 on the grounds that AB 2559 has not been in effect long enough for providers of direct-to-tenant screening reports to implement needed standardization, accuracy, and fraud-prevention measures across the industry.

Proponents of the legislation state that AB 1963 will reduce tenant application costs and streamline the process for those seeking rental housing. However, CAA notes that yet another prior bill signed into law by the Governor, 2024’s AB 2493, already ensures that (1) potential tenants are only charged a screening fee if their application is considered, (2) landlords process applications in the order they are received, based on disclosed screening criteria, and (3) fees must be refunded when appropriate.

Additionally, portable screening reports can create inefficiencies for housing providers. A mandated

expansion of the variety of tools property owners must accept and work with could result in more timeconsuming processes than a standardized approach to screening. Another potential side effect of AB 1963 could be that property owners or managers might also receive burdensome numbers of applications from potential tenants—who may or may not have a genuine interest in the property but simply are flooding the market with applications—due to streamlined operations on the tenant end.

The bill is in early stages of development.

A reminder that the 2026 cap on screening fees is $65.86, which represents a base $30 screening fee charge plus $35.86 in annual adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. This figure represents a 1.6% increase, or $1.96, from the 2025 cap. As per California Civil Code § 1950.6, fees also should only be collected to cover costs incurred by the property owner, not for profit—and landlords must provide an itemized receipt.

Mayor Lurie Appoints New Homelessness Director

Former Massachusetts Medicaid executive Michael Levine has been appointed as San Francisco’s new director of the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Tapped by Mayor Daniel Lurie and approved in April by the City’s Homeless Oversight Commission, Levine brings a wealth of experience at the intersection of homelessness, behavioral health, and healthcare. At MassHealth, Levine managed a

$23 million budget at an agency which served two million clients, including approximately 10,000 unhoused individuals. Levine worked to preserve tenancies, and also reduced emergency room visits through a redesign of the state’s behavioral health system.

“Mike is an expert in connecting health care and homelessness services, and he has seen the power of integrating primary care, behavioral health, and social supports to keep people housed,” said Mayor Lurie.

While Lurie has focused on increasing shelter capacity in San Francisco, Levine’s appointment comes at a time when the COVID-era strategy of converting hotels into shelters comes to a close. As those leases end, multiple shelters in the Tenderloin are closing, resulting in a loss of more than 450 beds. 525 people are currently on a shelter waitlist.

Lurie’s “Breaking the Cycle” plan aims to work innovatively at the intersection of homelessness and recovery and treatment services. In one such initiative, the Department of Public Health recently opened a 16-bed facility at 822 Geary as a crisis stabilization center. Operated by Crestwood Behavioral Health, the center offers lower-level medical care for up to twenty-three hours in a model designed to reduce emergency room burden and to function as an alternative to jail. Emergency medical service responders, police, and street teams can drop individuals off at the center 24/7.

“My experience in health care has taught me that homelessness is more than a housing issue—we will only succeed in getting people stabilized if we treat addiction and mental health issues,” Levine said. “In Massachusetts, we have retooled our Medicaid system so that the health care and homelessness services providers work hand-in-glove, and we recognize providers who successfully engage the hardestto-serve clients. I know San Francisco has made tremendous progress in the last year. I am excited to lean in to accelerate our progress to help more people move

toward stability and I look forward to being out in the community—meeting with providers, community members, frontline teams, and most importantly the clients we serve.”

Levine will replace Shireen McSpadden, who was appointed under former Mayor London Breed and has served five years in the role. McSpadden steps down on June 30.

June Primary Election

On June 2, 2026, San Francisco’s voters will help determine outcomes in both City and state races.

Gubernatorial Primary

Incumbent Governor Gavin Newsom is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. The ballot is crowded with candidates looking to fill the Governor’s seat. Leading in polling are Xavier Becerra (D), Matt Mahan (D), Katie Porter (D), Thomas Steyer (D), Antonio Villaraigosa (D), Chad Bianco (R), and Steve Hilton (R). Since 2014, California has followed a “top-two” primary format for the gubernatorial race, sending the top two primary vote-getters on to the November election regardless of party affiliation. Some pundits have voiced the possibility that the high number of Democratic candidates in comparison to Republicans might result in Democrats splitting their votes, thus sending two Republicans forward to the General Election.

Board of Supervisors

Special Election

Five of the eleven seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will be up for election come November 2026, but two of those seats, in District 2 (Marina/ Presidio/Pacific Heights) and District 4 (Twin Peaks West), are on the ballot as Special Elections in June. The winners of these races will serve through January 2027; both seats will be up for full fouryear-term elections again in the November 2026 race. The incumbents in these districts—Stephen Sherill in District 2 and Alan Wong in District 4—were both appointed by Mayors. Sherill was appointed in December 2024 by former

Mayor London Breed after Catherine Stephani moved on to the California Assembly; current Mayor Daniel Lurie appointed Wong in December 2025 following the recall of Joel Engardio.

RENTAL ROUNDUP SFAA LANDLORD EXPO

The San Francisco Apartment Association’s Landlord Expo brought together housing providers, industry experts, and service professionals for one of the organization’s most anticipated events. Designed as a comprehensive forum for education, compliance, and connection, the Expo gave attendees a structured way to engage with timely industry topics and practical property management solutions.

The engaging, full-day event reached capacity, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with peers, meet vendors, and discuss strategies for navigating day-to-day operational challenges. The format balanced educational presentations with opportunities for networking.

Property owners and managers were able to evaluate multiple service providers in one setting, ask targeted questions, and gain practical guidance on maintenance, compliance, and operations.

SFAA’s 2026 Landlord Expo served as a central hub for information and connection within San Francisco’s rental housing community. with sessions focused on the core issues facing rental housing providers:

MAINTENANCE, HABITABILITY & REPAIRS

Speaker: Charley Goss, SFAA Director of Government Affairs

This session covered the practical and legal foundations of maintaining compliant rental housing. Topics included the distinction between cosmetic improvements and required habitability repairs, how and when landlords can legally enter a unit, and how to clearly define tenant versus landlord responsibilities. Emphasis was also placed on timely, well-documented communication as a key tool for reducing disputes and maintaining compliance.

THE CHALLENGES OF HOARDING IN RENTAL UNITS

Speaker: Ken Cofflin, former SFFD Fire Chief and owner of Code 403

This session framed hoarding as a building-wide safety issue, not just a unit-level concern. Cofflin outlined an owner’s responsibility when hoarding is present, including fire risk and impacts on neighboring units. He clarified the difference between hoarding and general clutter, when the fire department may become involved, and how landlords should document each step of the process to demonstrate good-faith efforts and compliance.

FAIR HOUSING COMPLIANCE

Speaker: Michelle Horneff-Cohen, Clean Composting

This interactive session featured a Fair Housing Jeopardy-style game, where attendees tested their knowledge for prizes while reviewing key compliance concepts. Topics included protected classes, advertising practices, and tenant screening. A consistent takeaway was the importance of thorough documentation in all housing-related decisions and communications.

RENTAL MARKET UPDATE

Moderator: Dave Chesnosky, Rentals Inc.

Speakers: Tara Cooley, Rentals Inc.; Nicholas O’Leary, Gaetani Real Estate; Nikki Resch, Rentals Inc.; Andrew Bryson, Vertex Property Management

This session highlighted the strength of San Francisco’s current rental market and its continued rebound across neighborhoods. Speakers emphasized that certain amenities are driving value more than ever—particularly secure bike parking, as tenants increasingly avoid storing bikes on the street or in units. In-unit laundry was also cited as a premium feature, often commanding hundreds of dollars more per month in rent.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Speakers: Chelsea Kaplan, The Bar Association of San Francisco, and Scott Goering, Law & Mediation Offices of Scott Goering

A skills-based session focused on managing tenant disputes, with an emphasis on de-escalation, collaborative problem-solving, and maintaining positive relationships while protecting legal and financial interests. Together, the combination of targeted education and direct vendor access underscored the Landlord Expo’s role as both a networking hub and a practical resource—equipping housing providers with the information and connections needed to navigate an increasingly complex operating environment.

The More Things Change

written by JUSTIN A. GOODMAN

Moving firms, not purpose: redefining practice, identity, and professional confidence.

We’ve all known each other for years. SFAA is a unifying current through our industry, so we’ve seen each other at classes, panels, committees, the annual Expo and Trophy Awards, social events, and even battles in the courts when resolution wasn’t an option.

While we know each other by reference to our places in the industry, our positions aren’t necessarily fixed. In a snapshot, they certainly feel that way. Our industry demands the kind of wisdom that you can only gain by doing, and we earn these experiences serving in our respective roles. Those environments are precious and indispensable.

Early in my legal career, I worked at the kind of job where they popped in new employees like changing out burned fuses, and those employees worked an assembly line of cases. I became management, but left when I realized I was powerless to improve the process. San Francisco residential rental housing resists that kind of shoddy workmanship by nature.

Each of you is, in practice, irreplaceable. You have colleagues and competitors, of course, but your skills are valuable, and your experiences can only be lived in, not replicated on demand. The business is the machinery that turns a public demand into a product, and labor into a paycheck,

but each of us, at every level, exists in an ecosystem of specialists. The need for our services will be the same, even if we shuffle around the chairs a bit.

I want to be clear that I’m not trying to incite a mass quit. Apparently, we’re in a “low-hire, low-fire” job market right now, so you might want to dig in even if you hate your boss. (Just be sure to tell me the gossip over drinks sometime.)

What I am saying is that we should embrace the confidence we have in our skills and experience as practitioners. Our commitment to ourselves and our ability to serve our clients should transcend our commitment to teams or brands. I’ve always cared deeply about my team, but any team member must ultimately be accountable to themselves.

My mentor, Andrew Wiegel, taught me this when he was inducting me into another group (PPMA). I asked him how to serve in my role as emissary of my firm, and he disabused me: I was there to embody my own practice and exhibit myself as a practitioner, not glorify something estranged and abstract.

That was not an easy lesson for me. A decade earlier, I was doing anything I could think of to attend speaking events, write articles, and make industry connections, but all as a “brand

representative” of the firm that supported my legal career and continuing education in our industry.

I made shareholder at that firm. Our founder stepped down. My four business partners and I succeeded him and carried it forward as a team. No longer founder-driven, we were expected to approximate his role for our clients and our industry. We each knew our respective practices competently, but at some point, I think we became afraid to ask each other questions about what we didn’t know and what we were afraid to admit we didn’t know, as if that suggested we weren’t worthy of the role. (By the way, Andrew Wiegel’s first graduate degree is in psychology, and he once diagnosed me with imposter syndrome.)

So, I focused on what I did best, built up my team, and mastered my own practice. 2025 was the best year of my career to date, measured in successes, challenging and exciting cases, professional recognition, and opportunities to mentor the next generation.

But by the beginning of 2026, I was in the eye of a storm. While my busy litigation calendar somehow entirely resolved the previous December, there was more demand for my services than I’ve ever experienced—an eerie and temporary calm between what I’d just finished and what I was about to commence.

Suddenly, at an inflection point where my business partners wanted to produce more output by volume, and I wanted to focus on serving my clients and our industry at a rarified and focused level, I quit. (Don’t worry, I’m

still here. I’m going to finish writing this column. I just left a firm, not my practice area or industry.)

But in leaving my firm of twelve years, I lost the team I’d helped develop, the location where clients and colleagues knew where to find me, my steady paycheck, and an email address that was so woven into my relationships that I can’t even use it to log in to see my therapist during a very stressful time in my life.

If I left my firm, was I still the same person? Initially, I panicked. Right after my employment ended, I used my native Los Angeles area code to call a landlord who had just been referred to me. “Do you practice in San Francisco?” “Well, yeah… it’s me, Justin! I pretty much only practice in San Francisco. And I promise, I’m actually very good at this!” Wow, was I really going to have to start from scratch in convincing everyone of the reputation I took for granted yesterday? I’d better get to work.

I used to joke that I’d need to quit my job if I ever wanted to take a vacation. But I started the next day with a massive call list, notifying clients I’d moved, assuring them that I’d left their matters in a good state, whoever they wanted to work with, and inviting them to join me if they wanted.

Civil litigators are cultivated for bursts of stress, focus, and output. Our industry culls this temperament by sorting against “normal people” with strenuous tests like the LSAT and the bar exam. It beats a tolerance into them with difficult research questions, unforgiving deadlines, impatient judges, anxious clients, never enough sleep… and why is the coffee out? I should be fine. I’ve spent a career steeling myself against this kind of stress.

Andrew diagnosed that I was used to dealing with known stress, and I was dealing with the unknown stress of suddenly needing to recreate a practice instead of just starting the next day, doing business as usual. And what even is a “lawyer” with no clients?

Day one: I worked to exhaustion, but I felt like I accomplished nothing because I had no clients yet, no work to do, and no way to prove my value by the objectivity of the billable hour.

Day two: My anxiety pendulum swung in the other direction. I was worried none of my clients would want to deal with the headache of changing firms and following me. Actually, almost everybody did, and my days were consumed with administrative onboarding tasks. A new prospective client tracked me down and called me before I even knew what my direct line was.

Week two: My day’s labor shifted almost all the way back to serving clients, and I was feeling back to normal… pretty much to the exact day Andrew had predicted I would.

But at all times, even that brief moment I was the oxymoronic, “unemployed lawyer,” I was still on the same boards, I went to the same member meetings for legal panels and presentations, I wrote articles (and columns) for the same publications; and I had all the same friends in the industry. I moved, but I didn’t go anywhere.

For years, I didn’t think I could do this. I didn’t see myself as insular from the place I grew up and the context in which people knew me. Andrew (who for the sake of clarity at this point I will note is not my aforementioned therapist) had counseled me over the years, and now he was encouraging me to “row your own boat.” Did that mean going solo? I like working on a team. I like building up my friends and making us stronger together. And I do not like doing accounting.

As our conversations progressed, I came to understand his metaphor better. I didn’t have to be alone on the boat; I just had to know where I wanted it to go. Once I had my bearings, I could choose my crew and decide our missions. I’m simplifying this vignette. These metaphorical conversations went on for weeks, with me seeking concrete, definable answers and him giving me more questions.

I gradually developed and then implemented my brave plan… only to realize he had known everything I was going to do the whole time but wanted me to feel like it was my idea.

I took a path at the urging of my longtime friend and mentor. It happened over the course of years and then all at once.

And the end of this path is just a beginning. I mastered my old practice, but now I’m ready to be a student again and learn more. I still have my own practice group, but I’m not alone in my practice. I’m given the design space to create whatever I want, even if some efforts may not succeed, coached by someone who’s done it all before and wouldn’t have done it again on his own, except he really likes helping other people succeed. I am tremendously proud to now be part of the Wiegel Law Group. (We’ll be working on the name at some point.)

For me, this represents a shift—not in what I do, but in how I can do it best. We’re a service industry. We serve our clients first, and everything else follows. Our roles may change, but we don’t stop being practitioners, and we don’t lose our place in this industry simply because we may move within it. And if you ever end up moving, I’ll know how to find you, too.

No Room to Spare

written by VARIOUS AUTHORS

When too many tenants move in, know your rights and the legal process.

Q. It seems a tenant has two additional adults living full time in her studio apartment. I don’t want three adults living in the studio. Is there a way for me to get them out?

A.Legal occupancy for a California rental unit involves balancing statelevel guidance with specific local and federal anti-discrimination requirements. While California law does not set one rigid limit for every rental, housing agencies often look to federal standards for guidance. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) generally considers a policy of “two persons per bedroom” to be a reasonable benchmark for most rental units. This is not an absolute rule, but it serves as a starting point for determining whether an occupancy limit is fair or if it might be discriminatory against families with children.

Local city and county governments in California have the authority to establish their own occupancy rules to prevent overcrowding and protect public health. In San Francisco, residential occupancy limits are governed by local regulations that generally allow “two plus one” unit: two adults per bedroom and one additional adult in the entire living unit. For a studio, the maximum number of adults is two people. A onebedroom unit may have a maximum of three occupants—two occupants in one bedroom and one adult in the entire living unit; a two-bedroom unit

may have four occupants with two people in each bedroom; and a threebedroom unit may have six occupants. Children under the age of six do not count towards the occupancy limit.

Based on your description of the unit as a “studio,” the occupancy limit would be two adults or two adults and children under the age of six. If you and the tenant have a written lease, you should confirm whether there are any terms and conditions relating to who is allowed to reside in the unit and/or whether there is a stated limit on the number of individuals living in the unit. When a tenant exceeds the allowed occupancy limit, a landlord must follow a specific legal process in California. The first step usually involves serving the tenant with a formal written notice, such as a Notice to Perform Covenant or Quit. This notice informs the tenant of the lease violation and gives them a specific timeframe, often three days, to correct the problem. The notice must clearly describe the nature of the violation so the tenant knows how to comply. If the tenant does not comply with the Notice within the specified time period, then a landlord may start an eviction lawsuit by filing an Unlawful Detainer Complaint.

—Rowena Gargalicana

Q.After a one-year lease expires, can I require that tenants sign another

one-year lease rather than going month-to-month?

A. The word “require” is going to take some unpacking. Landlords are often surprised to learn that the language in their lease—the terms they bargained for with their tenants— don’t necessarily equate with enforceability these days. Some obvious stuff: in the 1970s, our Supreme Court first found an implied warranty of habitability in residential leases. (The modern tenant was no longer contracting for an interest in land but for a place to live.) Any waiver of this term would be unenforceable.

Decades into rent control, landlords were vigilant to ward off “waiver traps” to lose their right to vacancy decontrol, and they understandably wanted to monitor (and ideally prevent) subletting. San Francisco legislated absolute prohibitions right out of your lease in 1999 (provided it was a one-for-one replacement). It eliminated that cap in 2015 (provided occupancy didn’t exceed a personper-bedroom limit).

When we talk about the ability to “require,” there must be an ultimatum. In 2016, the Court of Appeal evaluated a lease provision requiring renters’ insurance and dictating that any breach was a “forfeiture” of the lease (meaning the landlord could, among other things, seek to recover possession). The Court found a “materiality” requirement in evicting for breach of lease; observed that insurance was for the benefit of the tenant, not the landlord; and reversed the judgment in favor of the tenant. This is not to say that eviction is the only solution to a tenant’s breach. (Though, when was the last

time you took your tenant to small claims court to collect your $35 late fee?)

Now, lease renewal is somewhat different. Unlike breaching a lease, this “just cause” is based on refusal to continue to be bound by it for another term. Of course, even a month-to-month tenancy “renews” the previous contract provisions, so no amount of arm-folding is going to allow a tenant to evade their obligations. But in an era where even the payment of rent can apparently be excused, why is this still a just cause for eviction?

Theoretically, a landlord wants yearterm leases to add some predictability in their management. Howerver, I’ve only actually seen this successfully used once. A lender needed to see a written lease, and the tenant adamantly refused. As it turns out, they had lied about an inaccurately low rent in an estoppel statement and were reluctant to double down on the deception. The point is that, in bringing a fault-based eviction these days, the equities should lead any reasonable person to believe the landlord had no choice. There are suitable circumstances for this one, but you should make sure an eviction is justified if you want to pursue it when your tenants refuse to comply.

RACE BALLOT

Written by CHARLEY GOSS

SFAA’s guide to key local races, measures, and what’s at stake in June’s primary election.

When you hear about the June 2026 election these days, the election most people are aware of, if any election at all, is the primary race for Governor of California. However, San Francisco also has a local election that will impact life in the city in many ways. Up for election are two seats at the Board of Supervisors (Districts Two and Four), a seat on the Board of Education, a Judge’s seat on the San Francisco Superior Court, and four ballot measures. As always, SFAA will provide some background on each of these races, as well as the SFAA’s endorsed candidates and positions.

Candidates

Board of Supervisors: District Two

In District Two, which covers the Marina, most of Pacific Heights, and parts of Jordan Park, incumbent Supervisor Stephen Sherrill will face a hotly contested election against neighborhood advocate Lori Brooke. Sherrill was appointed by Mayor London Breed in December of 2024 after serving as the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Innovation, and has since solidified his position as a leading moderate voice on the current Board of Supervisors.

Sherrill’s priorities are safe streets, clean neighborhoods, thriving local businesses, and helping support the bounce-back of San Francisco’s economy. During his time in office thus far, Sherrill has helped pass Mayor Daniel Lurie’s Family Zoning Plan; supported new housing at the former UCSF campus near Laurel Village on California Street; and led on legislation to delay a mandate to install sprinklers in certain high-rise buildings. He is opposed to the current proposal to construct a twentyfive-story apartment building above the Marina District Safeway, calling it out of step with the Family Zoning Plan, which “expand(s) the ability to build housing, and it keeps neighborhood voices centric.”

SFAA had a productive and positive working relationship with Supervisor Sherrill while he was at the Department of Innovation, and this relationship has carried over into his position on the Board

SFAA SLATE CARD

of Supervisors. SFAA has also built a positive working relationships with Sherrill’s staff, many of whom worked in the District Two office under Catherine Stefani after she was elected to the state Assembly. Sherrill represents a new school on the Board of Supervisors, guided by a common-sense approach to the city’s problems that focuses on results rather than political ideology. The SFAA PAC is proud to endorse Stephen Sherrill for District Two Supervisor. Sherrill has also been endorsed by Mayor Daniel Lurie, the SF Democratic Party, the SF Firefighters union, and fellow Supervisors Danny Sauter, Bilal Mahmood, Matt Dorsey, Myrna Melgar, and Rafael Mandelman, among other individuals and organizations.

Board of Supervisors: District Four District Four on the Board of Supervisors encompasses most of the Sunset District west of 19th Avenue. Incumbent Alan Wong was appointed by Mayor Daniel Lurie to represent the Sunset in December 2025. Wong was born and raised in the district, and prior to serving on the Board of Supervisors, served for five years on the City College Board of Trustees, with two years serving as the City College Board President. Wong has also worked as a legislative aide at City Hall, in the nonprofit sector, and served in the California Army National Guard since 2009. Wong is largely considered to be a moderate vote on the Board of Supervisors, but he tends to take a measured approach that looks at the facts and implications of a policy proposal before deciding if he’ll side with moderate or progressive positions.

He lists among his priorities public safety, building more housing at all income levels, finding effective solutions to drug addiction and homelessness, and making City Hall work better for small businesses. Just one day after being appointed, Wong voted in favor of the Family Zoning Plan, stating, “If we don’t offer our own compliant solution, Sacramento will dictate zoning for us, and we’ll lose local control, which is not acceptable.” Wong was also opposed to the decision to close the Great

Highway to cars, citing a greater need for City Hall to work with and involve residents in the decision-making process, instead of making decisions on behalf of residents.

The election for the District Four seat will also be highly contested, with dyed-in-the-wool progressive Natalie Gee also running. Gee currently serves as chief of staff to District Ten Supervisor Shamann Walton, and she seeks to tip the current tenuous moderate majority on the Board of Supervisors toward the progressive side.

This dynamic makes the District Four race crucial to the city’s future, and the SFAA PAC has proudly endorsed Alan Wong for the seat. Given the nature of ranked-choice voting and the fact that this race will likely be very close, SFAA recommends that members cast their first-choice vote for Wong and not rank any other candidate.

Board of Education

While the Board of Education makes many important decisions that guide policy for the SF Unified School District, races for the Board of Education have also become a proxy battleground for the city’s infamous moderate vs. progressive infighting and for future political leadership in San Francisco.

This election cycle, however, candidate Phil Kim is a rare mix of a moderate-leaning politician and an expert in the School District and its affairs. Kim was appointed to the Board of Education by Mayor London Breed in August of 2024 and was unanimously elected Board President in 2025. He has an extensive history of over a decade in K-12 public education and recently served as the Executive Director of School Strategy and Coherence within the school district’s Office of the Superintendent. The SFAA PAC has proudly endorsed Phil Kim for the Board of Education.

Superior Court Judge, Seat 16

It isn’t entirely accurate to say that only one seat on the San Francisco Superior Court is up for election. In reality, around two dozen judges were potentially seeking reelection going into the campaign season. However, if an incumbent judge is running for reelection and is unopposed, their seat will not appear on our ballots. Accordingly, you’ll only find one judge’s seat on your local June ballot: Seat 16 at the San Francisco Superior Court. In recent years, there has been increased scrutiny on the role a judge plays in maintaining public safety, with residents weighing the costs and benefits of lenient sentencing practices, restorative justice, and pre-trial diversion programs.

In this race, Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei is running against Deputy Public Defender Alexandra Pray for the seat vacated by Judge Gerardo Sandoval. For the past fifteen years, Maffei has served in the DA’s office, prosecuting domestic violence, elder abuse, financial exploitation, public corruption, and violent crime. She believes the role of a judge is to apply

the law fairly and consistently, and not to advance a political agenda. The SFAA PAC has endorsed Phoebe Maffei for Seat 16 on the San Francisco Superior Court.

Ballot Measures

June’s election will be relatively light on ballot measure proposals—San Francisco voters will only consider four measures, two of which directly contrast with each other.

Proposition A: No Endorsement

Proposition A is a General Obligation Bond measure for Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response in an amount not to exceed $535,000,000. The bond measure will fund improvements and seismic upgrades to City infrastructure used for emergency response and safety. Earthquake safety projects funded by the bonds could include construction, acquisition, improvement, and completion of the emergency firefighting water system, fire and police stations, the Muni bus storage and maintenance facility at Potrero Yard, and other disaster response facilities.

The best estimate of total debt service, including principal and interest, is $933 million. While the bond measure does authorize a 50% passthrough to tenants, in 2024, the Board of Supervisors reconfigured the way in which General Obligation bond passthroughs are calculated to minimize, and in some cases eliminate, the actual passthrough. Given this recent change to General Obligation Bond passthroughs, the SFAA PAC opted not to support the bond measure. While this bond will fund noble causes and necessary improvements to critical infrastructure, the SFAA PAC has issued No Endorsement on Prop A.

Proposition B: Vote Yes

Proposition B proposes to amend the City Charter to set lifetime term limits for the Mayor and for members of the Board of Supervisors. Currently, any Mayor or member of the Board of Supervisors can serve for two terms, and if they sit out one term, they can be elected to serve up to another two terms, without limitation. If Prop B passes, the Mayor or members of the Board can serve a maximum of two terms. Supporters of the measure include Nancy Pelosi and Daniel Lurie, while Jerry Brown and Willie Brown are opposed. The SFAA PAC has recommended a YES vote on Prop B.

Proposition C: Vote Yes

Proposition

D: Vote No

Propositions C and D are competing measures dealing with gross receipts taxes and the Top Executive Pay Tax. The Chamber of Commerce and Advance SF wrote and qualified Prop C in response to Prop D, which was placed on the ballot by SEIU 1021, or the local Service Employees International Union. SEIU’s Prop D builds on Prop L from 2020, the Top Executive Pay Tax, which imposed a new tax on businesses when their highest-paid managerial employee earns more than 100 times

A Challenging Environment Has Created Unique Opportunities

Rising interest rates have had a significant impact on the San Francisco sales market. Experience and first hand knowledge navigating these tricky times matters most. We are not guessing… You shouldn’t be either!

Sunset Rising

Written by PAM MCELROY

From neighborhood roots to public service, Supervisor Alan Wong is focused on results over politics.

Supervisor Alan Wong brings a lifelong connection to the Sunset—and a career in labor, education, and public service—to his role on the Board of Supervisors. In this conversation, Wong emphasizes practical solutions aimed at preserving opportunity for working families while maintaining the character of San Francisco communities.

Pam McElroy: You’ve described yourself as a lifelong Sunset resident. What experiences growing up in the neighborhood shaped your decision to enter public service?

Supervisor Alan Wong: I grew up in the Sunset and attended San Francisco public schools, including De Avila Elementary, Hoover Middle School, and Lincoln High School. My father was a union hotel cook, and because of his union job, my family was able to live with dignity in this city. Watching my father fight for fair wages and workers’ rights shaped my commitment to public service and to protecting opportunities for the next generation.

Throughout my career, I have worked in public service, the labor movement, and local government. I served as a union organizer representing healthcare workers across the Bay Area, advocating for better wages, benefits, and workplace protections. I later served as an elected City College trustee and board president, where I helped strengthen financial stability and expand opportunities for students and working families.

Today, as Supervisor, I am focused on addressing the challenges that affect young people in San Francisco, including housing affordability, economic opportunity, and maintaining vibrant neighborhoods where people can build their lives. I support expanding housing options, strengthening public transit, supporting small businesses, and investing in education and workforce pathways.

McElroy: When you think about the Sunset you grew up in compared with the neighborhood today, what has changed the most? What do you hope remains the same for the next generation of families?

Sup. Wong: We must ensure San Francisco remains a place where working-class families, young people, and longtime residents are not priced out of the communities they call home. Too many people who grew up here or who contribute to our city every day are struggling to stay. We need to expand housing options across all income levels, including low-, middle-, and market-rate, by making it easier to build housing, streamlining the permitting process, and supporting the construction of affordable homes. Creating more housing near transit and commercial corridors will help ensure people can live close to jobs and services while keeping neighborhoods vibrant. I hope that future generations are able to stay in the city as the economy grows.

McElroy: You’ve worked with the Children’s Council of San Francisco and served in the California National Guard and on the City College Board of Trustees. How have those roles influenced your priorities as a Supervisor?

Sup. Wong: Serving the community I grew up in has been the greatest honor of my life, and each of these roles deepened my commitment to public service and shaped my priorities as a supervisor.

At Children’s Council of San Francisco, I worked to expand access to affordable childcare for working families. That experience showed me how critical early education and family support are to economic stability. As Supervisor, I prioritize investments in childcare, family services, and policies that help parents stay in the workforce.

My service in the California National Guard reinforced the importance of preparedness, teamwork, and community resilience. Responding to emergencies taught me that the government must be ready to protect residents and coordinate effectively during crises. That informs my focus on public safety, disaster preparedness, and strong interagency partnerships.

Finally, serving on the Board of Trustees at City College of San Francisco strengthened my belief in education as a pathway to opportunity. I saw firsthand how workforce training, affordable education, and student support services change lives.

Together, these experiences shaped my priorities: supporting working families, improving public safety and preparedness, and expanding educational and economic opportunity.

McElroy: You’ve worked with both progressive and moderate coalitions during your career. How do you see your role in bridging those perspectives on the Board of Supervisors?

Sup. Wong: Throughout my career, I’ve worked with both progressive and moderate coalitions, and that experience has taught me that most residents are less interested in labels and more interested in results. The community is tired of partisan politics and ideological fights that don’t improve daily life. My role on the Board of Supervisors would be to focus on practical solutions grounded in doing the greatest good for the greatest number of people.

As a Supervisor, I prioritize listening first, identifying shared goals, and crafting policies that balance community needs. Whether the issue is housing, public safety, or small business support, I will work across perspectives to build durable coalitions. My focus is simple: less political theater, more problemsolving, and decisions that improve outcomes for the greatest number of residents.

McElroy: You’re running to keep the seat you were appointed to last year. What do you want voters to know about your leadership during these first months in office? What do you want them to know about your vision for District 4’s future?

Sup. Wong: Over these first months in office, I’ve focused on the basics that matter most to residents: responsive constituent services and practical problem-solving. That means fixing potholes, replacing broken or missing trash cans, improving street cleaning, and addressing everyday quality-oflife concerns quickly. Residents want to see their government working, and I’ve made it a priority to respond directly and follow through.

I’ve also spent time knocking on doors and speaking with neighbors face-to-face. Those conversations have shaped my approach. People are frustrated by “dumb laws” and bureaucratic hurdles that don’t reflect how our neighborhoods actually function. I’m committed to reviewing and eliminating unnecessary regulations that create confusion or burden residents and small businesses without delivering real benefits.

Looking ahead, my vision for District 4 is grounded in accessibility, neighborhood stability, and common-sense leadership. I want an office that is visible, responsive, and focused on outcomes. That includes continuing to improve basic services, supporting small businesses, and advocating for the district while reflecting community input. My goals are simple: listen directly to residents, fix what isn’t working, and keep District 4 a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

While our name and web address have changed, our commitment to providing legal counsel in Bay Area real estate and real property law remains steadfast. We invite you to visit the new site to explore our updated profiles and expanded resources at www.zfcpc.com.

McElroy: San Francisco is required to plan for 82,000 units across the city to meet State housing requirements. How do you balance those priorities in District 4, where residents might be hesitant to new housing?

Sup. Wong: I support housing developments of all income levels: low, middle, and market-rate. We should push for as much affordable housing as possible, but we also need to make sure that projects pencil out for developers. I also prioritize workforce housing for teachers and first responders, as well as veteran and senior housing. At the same time, community input remains important. Residents should have opportunities to share concerns and ideas early in the planning process so projects can address neighborhood needs such as infrastructure, transit, and public space. By combining clearer rules, faster approvals, and meaningful community engagement, we can accelerate housing production while ensuring development strengthens our neighborhoods.

McElroy: The Sunset is often described as one of San Francisco’s most family-oriented neighborhoods. What policies do you think the city needs to adopt to keep families here?

Sup. Wong: I supported the Family Zoning Plan because it was a pragmatic and responsible approach to maintain local control of zoning. State laws required San Francisco to propose prospective housing, but the state could intervene and make its own decisions without local input. The Family Zoning Plan was a necessary step for San Francisco to retain its autonomy and agency in zoning decisions. Building more housing at all levels will allow multiple generations of San Franciscans to remain in the city.

McElroy: Public safety and quality-of-life issues continue to be top concerns citywide. What specific steps do you believe San Francisco should take to improve safety and neighborhood conditions?

Sup. Wong: I strongly support fully staffing the police department and the sheriff’s office. Taraval Station is currently staffed by only 50 of its 120 police officers. The Sunset District needs to see the Taraval station fully staffed, with a focus on safety and emergencies. This will allow for quick, local response times.

I would support budget priorities that reflect negotiated agreements and the real operational needs of deputy sheriffs, police officers, and firefighters. That includes ensuring that funding for staffing, safety equipment, training, and retention is taken seriously during the budget process, and that agreements reached at the bargaining table are fully funded and implemented.

Ultimately, I would advocate for the following steps:

• Increase staffing levels with a recruitment and retention strategy that reflects the operational realities of our law enforcement agencies.

• Competitive compensation and benefits to attract and retain qualified candidates in a competitive labor market.

• Reduce the need for mandatory overtime that causes burnout and retention issues with clearer protections and advance notice, wherever operationally feasible.

McElroy: The Sunset has some of the city’s most beloved local spots. What’s your go-to neighborhood restaurant or café?

Sup. Wong: My go-to neighborhood spot is Golden Island Cafe. It’s a place that means a lot to me personally, and reflects the warmth and character of our district. I’ve celebrated many milestones there with family and friends, and it’s one of the first places I take visitors when I want to show them what makes the Sunset special.

During the appointment process, I even met with the Mayor there. It was a great opportunity to highlight a beloved local small business and the vibrant community that supports it. Golden Island is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that brings people together, whether it’s for everyday meals or special occasions.

Places like Golden Island Cafe are part of what makes District 4 unique. They’re family-run, rooted in the community, and represent the diversity and pride of the Sunset. Supporting these local businesses isn’t just about great food. It’s about preserving the neighborhood identity and ensuring these gathering spaces continue to thrive for years to come.

Rules in Motion

written by DAVE WASSERMAN

A roundup of new laws affecting rent, repairs, deposits, and tenant protections.

On March 3rd of this year, the Bar Association of San Francisco convened its annual “Hot Topics” in landlord-tenant law. This two-hour presentation is geared toward legal practitioners and highlights the legislative and case law developments that came down within the past twelve or so months. Below are the highlights.

ERAP Program Update

The first topic was an update from the director of the Eviction Defense Collaborative pertaining to the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, or ERAP, which assists eligible San Francisco residents who (i) have incurred past due rent; (ii) cannot afford movein costs for a new apartment they have identified and plan to lease; and/or (iii) need limited assistance with future rent to maintain their housing.

To be eligible for assistance, the tenant must live in San Francisco, have a household income at or below 50% of the Area Median Income for the household size, and have experienced a recent financial hardship. Qualifying tenants may receive up to $10,000 or, if an eviction action is pending, up to $20,000. If you have a nonpayment of rent dispute with your tenant, please encourage your tenant to engage with ERAP before this program runs out of funding.

AB 628

A new state law, AB 628, requires all rentals entered into, amended, or extended on or after January 1, 2026, to contain a working stove and refrigerator in order to be deemed as habitable. The stove must be maintained in good working order and capable of safely generating heat for cooking purposes. Likewise, the refrigerator must be maintained in good working order and capable of safely storing food. Housing providers must repair or replace a stove or refrigerator that is subject to a recall. Single-room occupancy units (SROs) are exempt from this requirement.

AB 414

Another state law, AB 414, requires a housing provider who receives a security deposit or rental payments by means of electronic transfer to return the security deposit by electronic transfer, unless the landlord and tenant agree to a different method of returning the security deposit.

Specifically: (1) The amendment to the security deposit law provides that if the landlord received the security deposit or rental payments from the tenant electronically, then the landlord shall furnish the remainder of the security deposit electronically to a bank account or other financial institution designated by the tenant,

or by any electronic or virtual method available to the landlord. Alternatively, the landlord and tenant may, by written agreement, designate another method of return, including, but not limited to, by personal delivery or by a check made payable to the tenant and mailed to an address provided by the tenant. (2) The amendment also provides that upon mutual agreement between the landlord and tenant entered into at the commencement of the tenancy or at any time during or after the tenancy, the landlord may send the itemized statement by either: (a) email to an account provided by the tenant, or (b) mailed to an address provided by the tenant by first-class mail, postage prepaid.

If multiple adult tenants reside in the apartment, the landlord must return the remainder of the security deposit by check made payable to all adult tenants on the lease agreement at the time the tenancy terminates, and furnish the itemized statement by personal delivery or first-class mail, postage prepaid, to any one of the adult tenants chosen by the landlord. Also, the landlord may enter into a mutual written agreement between the landlord and all adult tenants, at the commencement of the tenancy or at any time during or after the tenancy, that specifies both of the following:

How any remaining portion of the security deposit will be returned, including whether it will be returned to a specific adult tenant or divided among multiple tenants, with the allocation percentages. If any remaining portion of the deposit is to be returned to multiple adult tenants, the landlord may return the deposit by

either a check by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or an electronic deposit to a bank account or other financial institution designated by each adult tenant, as specified in the agreement.

(ii) For each adult tenant, the agreement shall specify whether the landlord will furnish the itemized statement by email or first-class mail, postage prepaid, along with a forwarding address or email account.

Finally, if multiple adult tenants reside in an apartment and a tenant terminates the lease due to domestic violence and no written mutual agreement was entered into by the landlord and all adult tenants, and the tenant who terminates the lease due to domestic violence requests that the security deposit be disbursed in a manner other than by check made payable to all adult tenants, the landlord may return the deposit in a manner other than by check made payable to all adult tenants.

SB 610

SB 610, also a state law, mandates that housing providers must clean up disasterrelated debris and remediate damage caused by a disaster. This regulation will apply in instances where the property has been impacted by a flood or fire. Remember, San Francisco has a local law that requires you to offer the rental unit back to any displaced resident on the same terms of tenancy that existed prior to the displacement. SB 610 reinforces the obligation to repair damage caused by the disaster.

AB 246

State law AB 246 authorizes a tenant to assert Social Security hardship as an affirmative defense in an unlawful detainer proceeding based upon nonpayment of rent. “Social Security hardship” is defined as a loss of income due to an interruption in the payment of Social Security benefits due to the action or inaction of the federal government. If the tenant can substantiate this hardship, the court will be required to halt the eviction action. The tenant, however, would not be relieved of the obligation to pay past due

rent, but would be required within fourteen days of the Social Security benefits being restored to either pay all past due rent or enter into a mutually agreed upon payment plan with the owner.

AB 1414

State law AB 1414 prohibits a housing provider from requiring a tenant to use a particular internet service provider and allows a tenant to deduct the cost of the internet subscription from rent if the housing provider violates this law. Remember that in San Francisco we have a local law that permits tenants to choose their own internet provider and requires the building owner to reasonably cooperate with the installation of necessary hardware.

AB 455

Lastly, state law AB 455 requires disclosure of thirdhand smoke residue in real estate sales (not rentals). “Thirdhand smoke” is defined as the toxic chemical residue left by tobacco smoke accumulating in carpets, walls, and furniture that became imbedded in building materials. This law requires the seller of a singlefamily residential property who has actual knowledge of the existence of any residue from smoking or vaping tobacco or nicotine products, or any history of occupants smoking or vaping tobacco or nicotine products on the property, to disclose that knowledge to the buyer in writing.

The panel that presented these topics included Andrew Westley of Signature Resolution, Ora S. Prochovnick, Director of Litigation and Policy for the Eviction Defense Collaborative, Kavita Sharma of the Sharma Law Group, and Nils Rosenquest along with Dave Wasserman.

Background

the median compensation paid to their San Francisco employees. Prop D goes further, proposing a drastically higher tax rate and changing the median compensation calculation by using the compensation of all employees, not just those based in San Francisco.

You may hear proponents of Prop D labeling the tax a “CEO tax.” However, Prop D is not a CEO tax—it is a substantial increase in business taxes on companies that are subject to it (companies where the top executive earns more than 100 times the median compensation paid to all employees of the company). The types of companies this tax applies to include grocery stores, pharmacies, hotels, and major retailers. And the tax increase is substantial—in some instances an 800% increase. This tax will inevitably be passed along to consumers in the form of higher bills at the grocery store, the pharmacy, and at checkout. What’s more, Prop D raises taxes on many businesses right at the time when the downtown San Francisco economy is working to stabilize, and it threatens to push out the very grocery stores, pharmacies, and retailers that San Francisco relies on to continue to rebound.

Rightfully seeing Prop D as a substantial threat to the San Francisco economy, the Chamber of Commerce and Advance SF placed Prop C on the ballot. Prop C, also known as the Small Business and Economic Recovery Act, counters Prop D in a few ways. First, it raises the business tax exemption for small businesses from $5 million in gross receipts to $7.5 million, granting relief to an expanded set of small businesses. Second, it offsets some of the tax revenue that will be lost from providing expanded tax relief to small businesses by accelerating the implementation of already-scheduled increases to the existing Top Executive Pay Tax. Last, it contains a “poison-pill” provision, stating that if both measures pass, only the measure with more votes will take effect.

Of the two, Prop C represents a much more reasonable approach to taxing businesses in San Francisco, while also providing additional tax relief to small businesses. The SFAA PAC has endorsed a YES position on Prop C and a NO position on Prop D.

Conclusion

The SFAA PAC can only take positions on measures and candidates in San Francisco. The SFAA PAC defers to the California Apartment Association for recommendations on statewide candidates and ballot measures. If you have questions about other races on the ballot, SFAA staff can provide you with CAA’s recommendations or point you toward resources to help you make an educated decision.

Keep in mind: We have another election in November, and it will be a big one. All the even Districts at the Board of Supervisors are up for election—Districts Two, Four, Six, Eight, and Ten. These races will substantially shape the Board and future policies on taxes, tenants’ rights, and good government reform.

To create a future where property owners aren’t scapegoated through poorly written landlord/tenant proposals and taxed through the roof, it’s important to get involved in these races. You can help by contributing time (volunteering for endorsed candidates), money (donating to the SFAA PAC and endorsed candidates), and, as always, voting with the SFAA slate card.

ALLOWABLE RENT INCREASES

2026 - 2027: 1.6%

Effective March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, the allowable annual rent increase is 1.4%. This amount is based on 60% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers in the Bay Area. A history of all allowable increases and their effective periods is provided.

INTEREST ON DEPOSITS

Deposits include all tenant monies that the owner holds, regardless of what they are called. At the landlord’s option, the payment may be made directly to the tenant or by allowing the tenant to deduct the amount of interest due from the rental payment.

RENT BOARD FEE

$29.50

Chapter 37A of San Francisco’s Administrative Code allows the city to collect a per-unit fee for each residential dwelling unit that is subject to the San Francisco Rent Ordinance. This fee defrays the entire cost of operation of the Rent Board. If you are an owner of a residential dwelling unit or guest unit, you must pay a Rent Board Fee by March 1 of each year unless you have a current exemption on file with the Rent Board or a Homeowners’ Exemption on file with the Office of the Assessor-Recorder.

NERT

NEIGHBORHOOD EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (NERT)

Get prepared and be involved. NERT is a communitybased training program that takes a neighbor-helping-neighbor approach, creating lifelines between families, neighbors, and San Francisco’s emergency responders.

NERT is a free training program for individuals, neighborhood groups, and community-based organizations in San Francisco. Individuals learn the basics of personal preparedness and prevention. Participants learn hands-on disaster skills that will help them as members of an emergency response team and/or as a leader directing untrained volunteers during an emergency, allowing them to act independently or as an adjunct to City emergency services.

Enrollment is easy! Want to host a NERT training in your San Francisco building or neighborhood? Classes will be scheduled based on program need and location. To request a class, you must have thirty sign-ups and an ADA compliant space able to accommodate at least eighty people.

Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) (415) 970-2022

SFFDNERT@sfgov.org

NERT Class Sign-Up Hotline (415) 970-2024

In San Francisco, managing and owning rental property can be a tough business. Keep your manager up to date with the latest news, legislation, trends and analysis of the industry. SFAA members can now send their managers or friends SF Apartment Magazine for only $84 a year.

Assessor-Recorder Torres Launches Online Portal

San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Joaquín Torres has introduced a new online portal designed to streamline services for property owners. The platform allows users to access property records, file certain documents, and manage transactions more efficiently without visiting City Hall.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the office’s systems, improve transparency, and reduce processing times. For housing providers and property owners, the portal offers a more accessible way to navigate administrative requirements and stay current with propertyrelated filings.

To access the online portal, visit sf.gov/ asr-community-portal
