旧金山市长签署两项租客保护法案：欠租未达一个月公平市场租金不得驱逐，租金全部费用须事先披露
加利福尼亚州旧金山市县市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）10月29日签署两项租客保护法案，分别收紧欠租驱逐的门槛，并要求租金费用全额披露。
由市议员 Fielder 提出的条例设立欠租驱逐门槛：今后房东以欠租为由驱逐租客，欠租金额必须先达到联邦公平市场租金（Fair Market Rent）一个月的数额，未达门槛不得启动驱逐。
由市议员 Mahmood 提出的《无隐藏租金费用法》要求，房源广告与租赁合同必须披露租客每月应付的全部成本；未事先披露的费用，房东不得收取，也不得以其未付作为驱逐理由。两项规定同时适用于租金管制单位与豁免单位。
市府公布的背景数字显示，旧金山一居室公寓的月租中位数已接近4500美元。本年度市预算中包括1.2亿美元无家可归预防与租客法律服务经费，并预留1亿美元应对可能的联邦经费削减。市府表示，两项新法意在让租客在签字前看清总价、在偶发欠租时不至于立即失去住所。
San Francisco, California: Mayor Signs Two Tenant Protection Laws Setting an Eviction Arrears Threshold and Banning Hidden Rent Fees
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie signed two tenant protection laws on October 29 in the City and County of San Francisco, California, tightening the threshold for eviction over unpaid rent and requiring full disclosure of rental costs.
The ordinance authored by Supervisor Fielder sets an arrears threshold for eviction: a landlord may not evict a tenant for nonpayment until the amount owed reaches one month of the federal Fair Market Rent.
The "No Hidden Rent Fees" law, authored by Supervisor Mahmood, requires rental listings and leases to disclose the total monthly cost to the tenant. Fees not disclosed in advance may not be charged, and nonpayment of an undisclosed fee cannot be used as grounds for eviction. Both measures apply to rent-controlled and exempt units alike.
City figures put San Francisco's median rent for a one-bedroom apartment at nearly $4,500 a month. The current city budget includes $120 million for homelessness prevention and tenant legal services, plus a $100 million reserve against possible federal funding cuts. The city said the two laws are meant to let tenants see the true total price before signing, and to keep a temporary shortfall from immediately costing a tenant their home.
