Purpose 4-37-100 Purpose. <br /> In enacting these regulations the City Council recognizes the need to protect long-term <br />tenants and tenant households in need from the adverse health, safety and economic impacts of <br />displacement. It is the purpose and intent of the City Council to mitigate such impacts on these <br />residents consistent with this Chapter. <br />Article 2. Definitions <br />4-37-200 Definitions. <br /> For the purpose of this Chapter, unless otherwise apparent from the context, certain <br />words and phrases used in this Chapter are defined as follows: (a) BASE RENT means the rent for residential property required to be paid by the <br />tenant to the landlord in the month immediately preceding the effective date of the rent increase. <br />Base rent shall not include ancillary services including, but not limited, to pet deposits, storage, <br />additional parking or utility pass-throughs. <br /> (b) CITY means the City of San Leandro. (c) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR means the Director of the <br />Community Development Department of the City of San Leandro, or his or her designated <br />representative. <br /> (d) CITY COUNCIL means the City Council of the City of San Leandro. <br /> (e) LANDLORD means any person, partnership, corporation, or other business entity offering for rent or lease any residential property in the City. “Landlord” shall include the <br />agent or representative of the landlord, provided that such agent or representative shall have full <br />authority to answer for the landlord and enter into binding agreements on the landlord’s behalf. <br /> (f) LANDLORD-CAUSED TERMINATION means a landlord taking action to <br />terminate the tenancy of a tenant occupying residential property. A landlord-caused termination also includes the circumstance where a landlord provides the tenant with a proposed rent increase <br />that raises the rent, or proposed multiple rent increases that cumulatively raise the rent, to an <br />amount more than twelve percent (12%) greater than the base rent that was in place at any time <br />during a twelve (12) month period, and the tenant elects to not remain in the residential property. <br />This excludes circumstances where the proposed rent increase is rescinded by the landlord and excludes residential properties where landlords may establish the initial and all subsequent rental <br />rates for a residential property pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1954.52. A landlord- <br />caused termination shall not include the following circumstances: <br /> (1) Failure to pay rent. Tenant failed to pay rent within three days of receiving <br />written notice from the landlord demanding payment in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161. <br /> (2) Breach of rental contract. Tenant violated a material term of the rental agreement <br />with the landlord for occupancy of residential property. <br />41
