the vast majority of landlords, commercial landlords, are good people. they are not bad actors. but there are a handful. and my neighborhood, in particular, right next to me, we have a storefront that has been vacant for 30 years. we have multiple storefronts on columbus avenue where we held a press conference, and i think it was january or february, along with supervisor peskin and supervisor fewer that have been held off the market by two landlords. low and behold, when that press conference occurred, signs went up on all the vacancies on our neighborhood which is 17%. and low and behold we just did another survey of those vacancies and we turn this into the supervisor's office. and between that six-month period we started about -- we started talking about this legislation and now -- [indiscernible] >> thank you. thank you very much, sir,.

jeremy corbyn said landlords should support the plans. somewhere that is safe and secure in which to live. and i can't imagine that any landlord would object to their property being inspected to make sure it is up to standard to be put on the rental market. surely that's a reasonable basic thing to do in society. we don't want people living in substandard accommodation. our economics correspondent andy verity is with me now. you have been looking at this proposal. tell us more detail. two basic problems with renting — one is that you may be in squalid housing, housing that is not up to scratch, and according to government figures, there is one in four operatives where they are not decent. in other words, they can be cold, damp, in disrepair. the other problem is, families, people in their 30s and 40s with kids who are renting, don't have much security. a landlord can say, i want you to pay more rent, bump up the rent, and if you don't like it, you are out. there are no fault evictions at the moment, which both parties are promising to get

most landlords provide a decent and secure landlords provide a decent and secure home for a long timee last decade, the government has allowed rogue landlords to flourish and so it is time to make the market they never renters and that requires the government to act and requires a kind of package of year one writes, a charter of rights are calling it for private renters. this is a market that means private renting can be a decent option for everyone. in terms of the reaction to this, it has been broadly welcomed by housing charities but landlords are clearly not happy about what labour is proposing here with the commercial domestic landlords association saying that this would cause a crisis in the rental sector because it would have a counter—productive effect to what labour is intending. with rental caps keeping prices down and increasing demand and putting people off renting out their homes. the other focus for labour today and forjeremy corbyn here in this constituency will be on the so called women, that group of 3 million or so women who were born in the 1950s and were expecting

some very good landlords of the my current landlord i get on very well with.. they wouldn‘t respond to you for weeks about prepared issues and when you try to leave at the end, they will try to claim your deposit of you. i had one tried to claim £300 when i‘d actually left the property in a better state than i received it. i‘ve had a landlords and that don‘t abide by the requirement to give notice when they are coming round, so i had a landlady who elect yourself into my house and burst into my bedroom while i was asleep on my day off and shout at me for being asleep so there is a huge spectrum. final point, given all that leeway, if you like, and that what the landlords feel that they don‘t have to really abide by every letter of every rule and law, because that is the application of what you‘re saying, what would it take for a party political campaign to wake up and to really improve what they are offering in terms of a standard of service and standard of accommodation as well?|j service and standard of accommodation as well? i think things like ending no fa

landlords not willing to improve the property. landlords waiting for a particular type of tenant. let's be realistic about what we are offering spaces for in terms of rent and to the extent work needs to be done. let's find ways to encourage that work to be done. existing tools to address vacancy very briefly, we have been thinking about this for a long time in san francisco in 2,009 for the board of supervisors passed a vacant or abandoned building registration ordinance. attached to that is a $711 registration fee for businesses who are on that register. interestingly, while the united states postal service reported almost 3500 commercial vacant addresses based on businesses not receiving mail for 90 plus days. certainly an implementation and problem there. which brings us to the 2019 vacant storefront ordinance that the board of supervisors passed in march introduced at the end of last year. i believe it was unanimously passed by the board of supervisors. the intent here is to strengthen the veracity of that register so we are capturing a more accurate picture of vacant commerc

they are scared because this landlord has lied to them. and they are scared because now they are being told even in this letter submitted to the board don't worry, there won't be any attempt to try to get you out when everything they know about these landlords tells them otherwise. it includes notices of violation an order of abatement that had to be issued against the landlord and you've heard testimony from my clients to demonstrate to you that everything tells them there's nothing that makes them feel like they can take the landlord at their word and the only way they can be protected in their long-term homes so they can continue living there, continue having affordable housing, continue being a part of this community is with the help of this board and eyes over the shoulder of the landlord preventing this landlord from abusing his position of power. thank you. >> question. can you explain when you mentioned failed eviction. >> yes. without going into too much detail, there was litigation going on for months and a previous lawsuit befor

not all these landlords are bad actors. most of them are really good. some of them have only increased their rent annually. but then you have the ones who are really determined to keep their place is empty for years and years and years. something has to be done. how long can we put up with this it doesn't impact all your small businesses in the area. also, there are less people on the streets. it will make it safer. we have to look at the characteristic approach. we need to have a character. why is it only that some can do that and others can't? let's make it apply to every small business that wants to open this city. a conditional use hearing, up to nine months, if not more than that, plus the cost. it should be must -- much less than that. formula retail, fill's coffee, a local company. born and raised in the city. they want to move into a place, they have to wait just like everybody else. i think we can look at that. once again, i do think this legislation is good, but the time element of the supervisors that they pointed out can be a problem. on the

the residential landlords association said those plans would drive thousands of landlords out of thel, and most private renters a re happen at all, and most private renters are happy with their home. most landlords provide a decent and secure home long—term for the te na nts. secure home long—term for the tenants. but for too long, and certainly in the last decades, the government has allowed rogue landlords to flourish. it is time to make it fairer, and that requires the government to act and it requires a charter of year—round rights, labour are calling it, for private renters. so this is a market that means that private renting can bea that means that private renting can be a decent option for everyone. on that point, another thing they say is what they don't need is new obligations and new things to think about, but better enforcement of the ones that already exist. there is a danger that you are over complicating the market. well, not so. we have more rights as consumers when we rent a car or buy a fridge or freezer. we have when we rent a car or buy a fridge orfreezer. we have

this will be a lease extension with bayview plaza as landlord and city and county of san francisco as tenant. hsa has been at the site since september of 2009. the current lease is about to expire but has a five year lease extension to take that from december of 2019 through november of 2024. the option provides that the new rate would be at 95% of fair market value but no less than the current rate. we have determined the current rate of $45,325 per month is at or below 95% of market. that $45,000 per month equates to $543,902 per year or $36.06 per square foot annually. this will adjust on an annual basis based upon the cpi. it is bracketed no less than 3% or higher than 5%. h sa uses this property for family and children's services. this lease is fully serviced which makes the $36 a square foot rate more attractive. i want to thank them for the review of the lease option and we concur in their recommendation. i have robert wash with me to answer any questions. >> any comments? can we have the bla report, please. >> yes, the proposed resolution approves five year extension to the ex
