The Ellis Act is a provision in California Law (Government Code section 7060-7060.7〔(CA Codes (gov:7060-7060.7) )〕) that provides landlords in California with a legal way to "go out of business" short of selling the property to another landlord. It is named after Republican State Senator (1981-1988) James "Jim" L Ellis representing San Diego. The Ellis Act "was adopted by the California Legislature in 1985 after the California Supreme Court ruled that landlords do not have the right to evict tenants to go out of the business of being a landlord".〔(BeyondChron: San Francisco's Alternative Online Daily News » New Study Calls for Ellis Act Reform )〕 Municipalities can regulate the Ellis Act eviction process to some extent. Those that do typically restrict the property from use as a rental property for a period of time and require that it go back under rent control provisions if it is returned to the rental market. * San Francisco requires compensation from at least $5,153 and up (per tenant) to more than $18,000 per unit depending upon various factors like age, disability, and whether a unit has school-aged children occupying the targeted unit.〔(San Francisco Tenants Union )〕 An amendment to the Ellis Act for San Francisco County is pending in the California State Legislature. SB1439,〔http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1439〕 if enacted would require new property owners to wait five years before evicting the current tenants.〔http://www.sfgate.com/realestate/article/S-F-Ellis-Act-reform-bill-passes-in-state-Senate-5514880.php〕 * Santa Monica requires an owner get a re-occupation permit before the building can be used for any purpose following Ellis Act evictions.〔(Tenants Together : Landlords busted by city task force )〕 * Los Angeles applies rent control provisions to units built on the same property up to five years later.〔(Rent Control Of Replacement Units Upheld | California Planning & Development Report )〕 Tenant groups in San Francisco and Los Angeles claim that California landlords commonly misuse the Ellis Act "to bypass rent control"〔http://www.losfelizledger.com/article/evicted-residents-vow-to-keep-eye-on-building/〕〔http://www.antievictionmappingproject.net/ellis.html〕 and cash-in during peak housing market periods〔http://www.scpr.org/news/2015/04/24/51256/ellis-act-evictions-in-l-a-on-the-rise/〕 by managing rent-stabilized properties to vacancy, after which they might demolish buildings to build pricey condominiums, retenant newly vacated units at top-market rents, or resell buildings at much higher prices than they bought once they are no longer value-encumbered by the presence of long-term, rent-stabilized tenants. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ellis Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
