i'm with the san francisco tenants union. thank you supervisors so far bringing this legislation back. harassment is definitely on the increase and a fashd way to get tenants out of their part times. as supervisor campos note it's a difficult issue for tenants to deal with. senile they need to live with harassment long enough until an attorney feels their suffered medical bills and that sort of thing enormously to say most tenants can't survive through the harassment and it's an effective way of getting tenants out. this legislation corrects the issue of prop m passed by the voter that denied and prohibited harassment but unfortunately, the courts throw out the issue. this denies harassment an illegal evict attempt and go to the rent board and have it investigated. in addition to being a city attorney and district attorney prop a put in the statute for $200 a day so tenants can go to small claims court and get a monetary settlement. so thank you supervisors >> any >> prayer by the chaplain. >>. seeing none, public comment is c

hear me out is increasing and we're seeing that reported drishlg directly from organization the tenant unions and other the main recourse the tenant can file a civil litigation matter in california supreme court and we know that that's a very dawn task and expensive endeavor and not surprisingly we haven't seen those kinds of cases being fidelity because it's difficult for tenants to very wellism of that recourse. it's that reason why working with the tenants advocates we've created this administrative process for tenant to make an official complaint about harassments. it creates a mechanism at the rent board for the tenants to file a sclament if the landowners is harassing the tenant to vacate the unit. the legislation would allow the attempted to file a complaint with the rent board that would schedule a hearing before a law just between the tenant and landlord would believable to present their case. this judge would present 9 board with a summer so the rent board could decide and make a referral to the city attorney to initiate civil altercation or the zake district attorney to initiate cr

i have to point out that it comes in the context of the kind of affordable questions that the tenant union focuses on to for the ren ter's affordable and it comes in the context of affordability that 100 percent of san franciscans support and 100 percent of them support, affordability like an earthquake just hit the city and the housing was needed like a tsunami, it has reached the national media and mores that to be done about it. and it is interesting that it comes to fruition right now because 6 months ago the affordability question was one of a lot of questions that have been put on the table for years, the tenant union, you know, and advocating for more affordable rental housing and preserve vasing, and falling on the deaf ears, until the last ballot involved 8 washington and band c, and we saw that much in the mayor's office and the official family had not read the temperature of the city. accurately, in order to make the appropriate use of public land on the water front and elsewhere, we could not be inthrauled to the idea that it was going to build our way out of the affordability
