Tonight a condo conversion in oakland is putting two mothers and their children at risk of becoming homeless. They are landlord claims the apartments they have lived in for more than a decade are now condos. In tonights project home, what city leaders are calling a loophole that needs to be closed. This is my community. It has been my city. Reporter she has lived in east oakland for 23 years. And in the same apartment for 12 years. Or at least what she thought was an apartment. Her landlord now says this is a condo. Which means she can legally evict her and her family. I would like someone to explain to me what a condominium is and what an apartment is. Why is there a loss of rent control when it becomes a condominium . Reporter in oakland, landlords can legally apply to convert apartment buildings in do condos as long as there are four or fewer units in the building. Once it becomes a condo, tenants living inside lose all of their rights. Protections that apply to apartment dwellers like rent control or just cause eviction, disappears. Marias nextdoor neighbor is facing the same thing. My daughter, she worries and gets nervous and she cries sometimes because she does not want to move out. Reporter they both are housekeepers and do not make enough money to afford market rate apartments in oakland. Maria pays 900 a month for a two bedroom.

Here is where we have our community. Our church, our schools. Programs. We have everything here. I think it is unjust. Why should we have to leave . Reporter large condo conversions were a big problem in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. People live in constant fear they will come home from work and see a for sale sign on the building. Reporter the bay area lost thousands of Affordable Housing units to largescale condo conversions during those decades. Until the law changed, making it so large buildings can no longer become condos in one fell swoop and evict everyone inside. But oaklands laws did not take four or fewer. If we want to protect the rental stock we have and protect the renters who live in the rental units, all rental units should be under the same set of rules. Reporter this oakland city councilmember wants to change the law to include the small buildings. When you convert to a condo, you are taking rental units off the market and making it harder for those renters to stay in oakland. Reporter the owners of large buildings in the city of oakland not only have a more difficult time converting their apartment buildings into condominiums, they have to pay what are known as conversion credits. That is a fee they have to pay to the city of oakland to offset the loss of Affordable Housing that often happens when an apartment becomes a condominium. They pay the fee to the city and the city is supposed to use that money to create more Affordable Housing. Small landlords, do not have to pay the fee. This is where tenants rights advocates think that the landlord is skirting the law. In this case it appears the conversion was done as though there were four units being converted. We believe that there were more than four units which would mean it is not done for a quick. Reporter land records ty. It is listed as six apartments. Which is how many people they say are living there now. Energy meters on the back of the building show five hookups. The landlord insists, this building consists of four condos. Unfortunately, we seem to see tenants displaced out of oakland in so many different ways. This is another loophole we are seeing landlords exploding. Reporter the landlord and owner of the building would not talk to us for the story. Neither what her lawyer. They are hoping the conversion confusion clears up. And the ordinance passes so they may have a chance to stay. The only thing i have left is to leave. If i cannot afford rent, we will end up on the streets. Reporter City Council Member has been trying to pass an ordinance that would put in place detections from the tenants in the small buildings that have undergone the condo conversions for several years. It has yet to take place. He is hoping that will change this fall. The mayor talked about this problem in 2016 saying tenants in the small buildings deserve protection. The ordinance is expected to be introduced in the next couple of weeks. You did a good job of talking about the fact these are four or fewer units. Small buildings. I remember a time when this was a good idea. Tenants had a chance to buy their apartment. And make it there condo. Not anymore. Exactly. That is the problem with a lot of laws at the beginning. There was good intention. That is why they specifically said four or fewer. The idea was if you could not afford a large home in the bay area, maybe you could buy your apartment once it became a condo. It was a chance at homeownership for someone who could not afford a large home. That is no longer the case. They are no longer affordable when they go on to the market. It is a different game. That does play a factor for some people wanting to buy their apartment in the same way. The idea used to be, you cannot afford a big house, maybe you could buy a condo. City leaders say the game is different today and it is leading to a lot of evictions. We have so much ground to cover on this topic. We are barely scratching the surface. Thank you for your efforts.
