SHE BUYS SMALL BUILDINGS.
CLAIMS TO LIVE IN THEM. 
THEN RAISES RENTS BY 500%.

There's a loophole in the rent control law which allows greedy landlords 
to take away the rent and eviction protections from tenants in small 
buildings. The loophole exempts 2-4 unit, landlord-occupied buildings 
from rent control. And the greedy landlords, investors and speculators 
have found it a great way to raise rents and evict tenants. They buy the 
building, claim to live there and then use this loophole to raise all the 
rents.

There's a Noe Valley landlord who makes a living out of this. In less 
than five years, she's moved into four buildings. She's evicted tenants 
and raised rents by up to 500%.

She bought a 6-unit building and converted it into two 3-unit buildings 
so she could remove it from rent control. She first moved into one of the 
"new" 3-unit buildings and removed it from rent control. Now she's trying 
to do the same thing in the other "new" 3-unit building.

SHE MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE SHE EVICTS OR RAISES RENTS AGAIN!
