San Francisco tenants won a big victory yesterday in a vote that is in part a reflection of a couple of upcoming elections....

The issue was legislation that’s been dubbed “Eviction Protections 2.0,” a package by Sup. Jane Kim that would limit the ability of landlords to toss out tenants for minor lease violations that can be easily corrected and would allow renters to add roommates as long as they didn’t exceed the legal occupancy of the unit.

It would also prevent landlords from using owner move-in evictions as a pretext for getting rid of tenants and then renting out the unit for a higher price....

But as Sup. Eric Mar noted, “Just as software gets upgraded to add patches the fix problems,” the city needs to fix the flaws that are allowing bogus evictions – more than 2,000 in the past year.
