David Chiu’s Constituents Still Face Ellis Evictions San Francisco Assemblymember David Chiu recently introduced legislation to extend this eviction moratorium through the end of 2021. While it is absolutely necessary for our statewide eviction moratorium to be renewed, it is also clear that our moratorium must include Ellis Act evictions. Without the inclusion of Ellis Act evictions in our statewide eviction moratorium, we will see thousands more Californians left without a home in the middle of a pandemic. The Ellis Act has become a cruel loophole that allows real estate speculators to evict all of their tenants in the midst of a pandemic. The Tenderloin Housing Clinic is currently working with over 250 individuals in San Francisco that are facing evictions due to the Ellis Act. There is no doubt that there are similar cases occurring all across the state. It has never been more clear that we need immediate action from our California legislature to bring an end to these evictions.
