​Below are some of the specific protections we have proposed and must fight for to ensure they are included.

1. ​Close the renoviction loophole through right to return and temporary relocation assistance.

2. ​Universal Just Cause: Tenants in all housing protected by requirement of legitimate at-fault or no-fault reasoning.

3. ​Self Funded Rental registry: All rental units must be registered with the city, and rent increases processed through city to ensure legality.

4. ​Relocation assistance for all no-fault evictions equal to 3 months fair market rent, plus extra month for qualified tenants (Senior, disabled, low-income, dependent child(ren) under 18).

5. ​Owner and family move-in evictions more tightly regulated.

6. ​Ellis Act demolition removal from market evictions more tightly regulated.

7. ​Anti-harassment and anti-retaliation protections.

8. ​City enforcement mechanism and dedicated staff to enforce local and state housing law.

9. ​Relocation assistance for economic displacement: Excessive rent increase allows tenant to self-evict with substantial relocation assistance.

10. ​Failure to pay rent redefied as owing more than 1 month’s fair market rent.

11. ​Notice of tenants rights required when entering into a lease, renewing a lease, and notice of rent increase.

12. ​Cash for keys buyouts regulated with strict guidelines including notice of rights and time to make informed decision.

13. ​Language Justice: Requires notices to be filed in primary language of tenant.
