will the tenant pay us direct or will you? the rent? the rent will be the tenants' responsibility.o house all homeless families. marj is under intense pressure to find a solution. welcome to third—party payments, part of the department for work and pensions... good afternoon, it's marj cooper from flintshire county council... according to the universal credit website, the government will consider paying rent to landlords directly but only in certain crisis situations. i want to make sure i am understanding this correctly. can marj arrange that on someone‘s be hard? the landlord themselves has to originate that request for alternative payment arrangements, it can't be done by a third party? she can't make it work, and the landlord says he's not having anyjoy either. we can't talk to them, i've tried ringing them up, i've been on hold for hours, and in the end i put the phone down. the losses on a single tenant can go into thousands, ten that by ten or 20 tenants, something has to change, we can't go on. the business can't go on, the way it is. local authorities across the uk are con

the tenants living there passed away in may of 2015. a few months, i don't know the exact date, afterwards is when the property management moved into this space. this space over here is currently being occupied to the best of our knowledge by the owner. though he is seen only infrequently. the reason to show you this picture here is i want to give a visual of how this is a very close space. so it is almost impossible to not have a sense of what's going on at this property. you can see where it says office space, unit five, every day for me to leave the building i would walk by this office space. i understand there is issues around hearsay but there is also close proximity where i would actually witness firsthand that the management was there working in addition, i would say probably throughout 2018, the owner was also there with computers, working as well as his brother. this is clearly being used as an office space for three years. i just want to get to why we were concerned. what raised red flags for us? over the last few years, as un

if we are able to find piers for that target tenants. we have a number of city agency tenants that pay the rents. there is a limited risk of the legal battle with them down did line. small storage tenants, contractors where they are working on a project with a specific time limit. really being strategic about those leases so we don't complicate efforts going forward. to circumstance coal back around to the -- circle back around to intermediate leasing. for those facilities not in the r.f.p.s for the full 50 to 66 year seismic rehab of the pier, evaluate what the leasing opportunities are if they are not in the first couple years of that effort. the idea would be some of those piers probably don't have more than interim leasing opportunities. some have the potential for intern immediate leasing to see the leases under the rfi activate the bulkhead with those and think about revenue generation in the rest of the pier so we don't spend the money on rehab but some comes to the port in revenues. ultimately it is going to be a challenges but a

here today as tenants and enclosing my starch including myself. we have a few concerns on the appointment. this is not due to him being a landlord are running a property management company. is rather to the proponent of his business that prepares and assist landlords with filing a variety of rent increase pass-through his. he has a direct financial stake in decisions that he was tasked to adjudicate over. we believe this is a huge concern to consider when evaluating his appointment, and i know we have talked about him recusing himself. these are concerns that i would like to bring forward to today. this is all due respect to mr panzer. thank you. >> thank you. last speaker. >> good evening. i am from the affordable housing alliance. representing tenants for all of these years, we believe that one of the most important jobs for us is to protect the integrity of the rent board, along with that,, we found ourselves working with landlord loops on aspects of that from time to time. we thought the rent board should not be elected. we thought it a compas

so my question is, how do tenants organize in order to protect each other when tenant unions are de factohe state is preempted so many tools that austin can hel for tenants whenever anyone comes up with a good idea of the state legislature quickly goes up and preempts it again. i feel sorry for austin that your state government is in austin all they do is interfere with what you guys are trying to do to promote affordability. i'm aware of that. i get it. the one thing i don't think they can do is you do the density bonus model where the developer voluntarily accepts affordability and exchange for that seems to me the one thing your legislature can't interfere with but i'm glad you brought that up ntbecause i should've mentioned it. austin is under hampered by state government trying to protect its lower income population. i'm just going to rip one more time on something we talked about because we get so focused on those ddynamics the state local dynamics but we got tools on our books today to improve the lot for our working class. but are we going to use them? i'm a long-term austin knigh

i'm the president of the golden gait tenants -- gate tenants association of the hotel. as you know, a fire broke out on the 22nd floor of the davgate w hotel. on behalf of all of us, i would like to thank the san francisco fire department in its response to the gate way hotel fire. the first firefightered arrived very quickly with other engines following within minutes. they arrived several ways upstairs. the quick response was really what we appreciated. the effective action saved us from what could have been a major disaster in this high-rise. it's a 22, 24, 25-story building. the fact that no one was hurt and only an elderly couple was carried out safely reflected great training and professionalism and courage of the fire department. please extend our appreciation to all members of the force. we know that the fire station 13 was the first one to respond, but others joined them and additional members, and we are so very, very thankful for their tremendous works. thank you so much. i'm not here alone. other members of the gate way tenants association are here and would

prospective tenants respond to adverts for plush looking flats online.rns out to be the office of lettings agent called flintons. after a consultation, the flat hunter is told that, before they can even see a property, they must pay an upfront £300 deposit, and worse still, some clients have even been told that if they don't like the place after viewing, they shouldn't worry because money is refundable — but then it turns out it's not refundable after all. this is £135 a week, that is an absolute bargain for london. you think, ok... and it is something that very nearly happened to me, so after my near miss, a colleaguejohn and i started to investigate. we lost £300, and that's the thing, i think. israel and his friend harry responded to one of flintons' adverts. he says they went to see an agent who told them they needed to pay a deposit to see a room, but that it would be refundable. so she explained the whole offer of, if you pay a holding fee, you can change your room. i'm like, "we can get our money back as well, can't we?" she's like, "oh, yeah, you

aren't these multi-tenant properties? >> they are. >> mike, i guess my question is, for a property owner to say i can't get my tenants to do it, but you have examples of at least two in this presentation where you have a property owner who is getting their tenants to do it. >> yes, so these are examples using a 0 waste facilitator. >> i see, got it. properties saying i can't get my tenants to do it, they are not using the 0 waste facilitator. >> the property owners had a facilitator going through, then that's where the costs would happen. >> the whole cost benefit, they pay for the facilitator, but saving even more. >> i understand. right. right. thank you. continue. >> ok. >> we have a list of 9/11 companies, currently identified, others in the course, but these are currently nine we know -- >> i'm sorry, one more question about the facilitators. how long has mercy housing, and for a city entity, how long have they been using these facilitators. >> yeah, well, as a city agency, they had a contract and they were able to d

and tenants and employees in our member buildings. this focuses on the end instead of the beginning. so in fact, we're all zero waste facilitators. the city has a great department and they do a nice job educating all large refuse generators and their constituencies. utilizing them, instead of mandating a zero waste facilitator could save taxpayer dollars. please engage this department. find out what works first before you mandate the hire of a zero waste facilitator. some use them. some are effective, some are not. but we allow them the flexibility. in closing, we feel the ordinance needs to be amended to allow that all stakeholders and the city have their needs addressed appropriately. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker, please. dee dee and then drew. marcy. charles. >> thank you. good afternoon. working for the san francisco chamber of commerce. the chamber and our partners are supportive of everyone working toward zero waste. we do it diligently. and we really appreciate the supervisor's efforts in that regard.

do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenantsuld do? >> i think it's really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. if they're out of the building, whats' their continuity plan for connecting with family? they should give their emergency contact information to their resident manager so that the resident manager knows how to get in touch. and have emergency supplies on hand. the tenants should be responsible to have their extra water and flashlights and bandages and know how to use a toilet when there's no sewage and water flows down. and the owners of the building should be proactive in that regard as well. >> so, george, thank you so much for joining us. that was really great. and thanks to spur for hosting us here in this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for joining us >> a way of life in san francisco. when the next major quake hits, the city hopes a new law requiring seismic upgrades to five story buildings will help keep more residents safe and

taking into tenant improvement allowance. it's not shown here. as i said earlier, when lincoln looks at individual deal, they're looking at the aggregate number. the net present value numbers are consistent with the pro forma and the aggregate. >> maybe we can have offline conversation about it. >> i understand your question, by adding five more years you're bringing more revenue. you're looking at 10 to 10 or 15 to 15 plus present value. >> that present value will be higher than the 10-year value. it's more interesting in terms of budgeting, how are we doing orthe ten years? >> we'll look at that. usually if you have a 15-year lease versus 10-year lease, the 15-year lease gross less per month. >> the additional revenue is also capture the higher t.i. costs. that's why the net present value is a key number. you need it to do apples to apples comparison. >> okay. >> any other questions? >> move for approval. >> second. >> any members of the public wanting to comment on the item.

"she... played an important role in fighting off ...trump's efforts to kill the affordable care act." cal

so you can often identify tenants, but not necessarily all of them. so that information can be gotten through the audit. there is language that is being proposed to be added that specifically help large refuse generators identify those tenants. >> and so, in the grand scheme of department of the environment, whose job is it to work with recology to work with these audits, to work with the businesses? is it a team of folks? >> yeah. there is a team of us in zero waste. so we're organized by sector. so i'm overseeing the commercial sector. there is a team of us. and we actually, the person on the team, will deal with a range of different customer types. and that is also true, recology has professional staff -- they call it their waste zero staff. and they also work with these customers. so we're in constant communication. >> president cohen: what is the cost of an audit? >> you'll have to ask recology on that. it takes a couple of hours. >> president cohen: could we get a recology representative? >> there is a cost there that recology -- coh >> presiden

client and tenant and the said you have contaminated the trash. what they have gotten is warning, suspension, how dare the janitor tell me what i did wrong. i am asking every one of you to understand that 1390 market, two blocks up from us, one of the spots that has the facilitator. at twitter you don't have the same results. up the blocks, square and uber, they are not compliant as well. and i just want to be able to say that for bowma to get up here and say we are in support of the legislation but not necessarily in support of your legislation. we want more time. and that type, they have had ten years to do something about it. besides giving themselves nice lunches. i want to tell the board we need -- >> thank you, your time is up. thank you.

my name is jordan davis, and i currently sit at one of two tenant reps on the s.r.o. task force. you know, yesterday i got a reminder of why this body is necessary and why you must renew it. h.s.h. may affect its tenants in unprofited hotel which have some unintended consequences and i've had to loop in a lot of people and have this matter agendaized. we are right now having many discussions of issues that have often been left on the back burner and go unnoticed, including nonprofit tenants rights, women's issues, immigration issues, and we even pushed for gender neutral issues and pass through reform. in the past, we focused on sprinkler policy, and this is one of the last processes of low-income people like myself, and it's making sure we have a seat at the table. i've learned a lot about the issues. about finding a middle ground and pushing for good policies for the health, safety, empowerment and autonomy of tenants, even when there's resistance. in reality, we are often having a spirited but necessary conversation about the needs of s.r.o.s and how we can move forward. thank

in england, tenants can be given two months' notice, no reason necessary. jailson is supposed to move out next week. but he's still hoping that his appeal will be accepted and he won't have to leave. >> i struggle every single day in different ways, because i'm devoting my time to sorting this out. but the other aspects of my life are being compromised. >> emily and ben want to stay in london for work reasons. they have transformed a desperate situation into a lifestylyle choice. they don't have a castle, but they do have a boat. the mortgage costs them 350 euros a month. it's romantic here and of course mobile. usually, anyway. emily: last t winter, the canl was frozen. you could not move. we ran out of water, we ran out of gas. beben: the toilet was full. you have summer to sleep but , you've got no amenities. >> that said, if their winter hardships are the worst they face, then emilie and ben are the lucky ones. >> africa's population is skyrocketing. by 2050, projections say there will be twice as many people liviving on the continent as the arare now.

i took a phone call from a tenant. i knew the tenant. he was a tough, strong man.d been asked for £700 because he had been asked for £700 because he had a change of partner in the flat. his change of partner is none of my business or the lettings agents. they wanted the deposit and £300 simply to change the name. the name on the contract? that was more than that man took home in a week. he was put in an impossible situation. what was the justification for this? very coy. they tried to avoid talking about it. you said that is it, i do not want to use you anymore. about it. you said that is it, i do not want to use you anymorelj about it. you said that is it, i do not want to use you anymore. i was lucky in finding a small, local agent that would have none of this at all and simply did not go in for this. what i found later to be quite ridiculous extent of charges. this was not the only hidden charge which landlords were not told and still i find under proposed legislation we might one day have landlords will still not be told what is being done in their name. when y

i'm here representing a tenant of 19 gladys street who couldn't be here today. she wrote a letter that i'd like to read. i'm opposed to the project for many reasons. the space that i live in has very little natural light. the only window that gives light to the entire apartment which i rely on for quality of life as well as to keep plants alive will be blocked. providely will be minute mine miezed. project is out of compliance, making it larger and will result in significant loss of privacy for any yard as well as negatively impacting the value of this and surrounding neighborhood homes. finally, the current project as proposed does not fully utilize the available lot space. there's no reasonable justification for an additional story which will make this building significantly out of character with the rest of the small homes found on gladys street and in bernal heights, and i thank you for your time. >> president hillis: thank you. additional public comment? >> go ahead, ma'am. >> sorry for the delay. >> okay. my name is geraldine bosco. i was born and raised i
