Selling San Francisco MF

[Rob B.]

I have a friend who wants to sell their triplex in San Francisco, but they have two long term tenants who have been there and because of rent control, they have a hard time asking them to leave. I've never worked in rent controlled cities, so I don't know how it works. They live in one unit and rent out the other two, so I'm hoping to clear out at least one unit so that it can be sold easier. Any suggestions? One of the tenants has more people living there than are on the lease, so that should be grounds to evict. The upstairs one has been there for sixteen years and is only paying $1,150/Mo for a 2/1, 900 sq ft.
