no I live in San Francisco. I did live in Berkeley. I'm well aware that renters don't care about this, I'm responding to your prognostication that nobody can prove what "vacancy control" will do because we HAD VC, in California for years. You claim we didn't have it, show you ONE PLACE where it existed, I showed you...

You can’t prove that vacancy control is an automatic thing if HC is disband, because that would depend on a vote of localities. Running around telling everyone, on the renters sub, that they should vote to keep HC because it’ll mean definite vacancy control without, is not true. It’s a possibility sure. But it’s not de...

Does your lease contain a damage liability clause? ie. tenant is responsible for repairs or damage for up to the first $100 to premises by any cause or means. LL have been known to sneak that in.

Beware of the leasing agency, sometimes they try to up the rent by asking more depending on how many people live in the home and also ask for extra “pet fee”.

Yes, actually once you’re off the waitlist and in the city, you can stay as long as there is properties available. It just means lots of moving in the busy season. They will not let anyone else in the city until there is, like, plenty of available Standby Homes.

Who in their right mind, who also, assumingly, wants to keep their job, would give a DRUNK tenant a LL key fob? Ask them for proof - something you signed acknowledging receipt of the key, security camera footage, etc. Otherwise, you feel the guard just walked you home as usual, and you appreciate that.
