Justin discussed the distinctions between the landlord-tenant relationship and master tenant-subtenant relationship with respect to rent control. Justin also discussed where this distinction might be blurred, who might be considered the “original occupant” (for purposes of rent control and Costa-Hawkins) and how a landlord can best position themselves for clear-cut lines with well-defined rights going forward.

Justin discussed recent changes to the San Francisco Fire Code, requiring property owners to provide notifications, disclosures and on-site floor plan displays to facilitate fire safety for multi-unit housing. Justin addressed concerns relating to Costa-Hawkins waiver issues, where landlords are required to provide information to “residents” (as opposed to, e.g., “master-tenants”).
