evict for the market rate during that period. this ordinancen insures that relocation payment adequately represent and allows tennants to have an opportunity to have a fighting chance to stay in san francisco. the rental and purchase prices for san francisco homes have increased dramatically since 2005 and we last have the ordinance requiring relocation assistance payments to tennants at that time. currently landlords are required to pay relocation assistance in the amounts of $5265 per tenant and they must pay $2500 to displaced

think it's probably the best approach to deal with these cases because it's really difficult to know without really knowing the individual circumstances of each case whether a waiver is appropriate. so, with that in mind, i ask you today for your supposed and i look forward to a substantive discussion at the board. thank you. >> supervisor breed? >>supervisor london breed: thank you, i want to thank supervisor campos for bringing this legislation forward. i wholeheartedly agree that we need to increase the payment landlords make to tennants who are evicted by the ellis act. that will help them stay on their feet and help them stay in san francisco which we know ot
