旧金山监事会一致通过欠租驱逐门槛:欠租低于一个月公平市场租金不得驱逐,单间公寓门槛为2,485美元

旧金山位于加利福尼亚州,是市县合一的城市。旧金山监事会10月20日一致通过一项租户保护法案:今后房东不得再因低于一个月公平市场租金的欠租而驱逐租户。此前,该市规则允许房东不论欠租多少都可提起欠租驱逐。
新门槛按美国住房与城市发展部公布的公平市场租金计算:单间公寓2,485美元、一居室2,977美元、两居室3,604美元。法案由监事 Jackie Fielder 提出、七名监事共同联署,市长 Daniel Lurie 表示支持。Fielder 表示,2025年旧金山的驱逐案件中,有四分之一涉及的欠租低于一个月的公平市场租金门槛,她称这一修改是在住房成本上升背景下遏制驱逐的办法。
该法案最早可能于今年12月生效。旧金山公寓协会向监事会警告称,该措施可能面临法律挑战,并提到洛杉矶公寓协会已就洛杉矶的类似法律提起诉讼;洛杉矶、Oakland 与 Berkeley 此前已采取类似保护。Lurie 今年9月曾宣布该市进入租金紧急状态,理由包括超级智能热潮带来的住房压力。
San Francisco Supervisors Unanimously Approve a Rent-Debt Threshold for Evictions: Tenants Cannot Be Evicted Over Debts Below One Month of Fair Market Rent, Set at $2,485 for a Studio
San Francisco, California, a consolidated city and county — San Francisco landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants for unpaid rent below the fair-market cost of one month's rent, under a measure approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors on October 20. The previous city rule allowed eviction for nonpayment regardless of how much rent was owed.
The new threshold is based on U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development fair-market rent figures: $2,485 for a studio, $2,977 for a one-bedroom and $3,604 for a two-bedroom apartment. The measure was introduced by Supervisor Jackie Fielder and co-sponsored by seven supervisors, and is supported by Mayor Daniel Lurie. Fielder said a quarter of San Francisco eviction cases in 2025 involved debts below the one-month fair-market-rent benchmark, and described the change as a way to curb evictions amid rising housing costs.
The law could take effect as early as December. The San Francisco Apartment Association warned the Board of Supervisors that the measure could invite litigation, pointing to a lawsuit brought by the Apartment Association of Los Angeles against that city's similar law. Los Angeles, Oakland and Berkeley have adopted similar protections. Lurie declared a rent emergency in September, citing pressures that include the city's SI boom.
