Corporate Rentals vs San Francisco Rent Control

[Nicholas Bowers]

One of our clients has a great building in downtown SF, and we have been thinking of doing corporate rentals. A few question:

• Does my property management company sign a master lease, then sublet to the corporations, or do they sign an original lease?
• Are corporations protected by rent control? How do we avoid them not vacating at the end of the contract?
• If we sign a master lease can he get in trouble if we only pay when we have corporate clients?

Thank you for the advice!
