Ordinance amending Administrative Code Chapter 37 "Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance" by amending Section 37.9 to prohibit evictions from rent-controlled units based solely on the addition of an existing tenant's child, parent, grandchild, grandparent, brother or sister, or the spouse or domestic partner (as defined in Administrative Code Sections 62.1 through 62.8) of such relatives, or for the addition of the spouse or domestic partner of a tenant, where a pre-existing rental agreement or lease limits the number of occupants or limits or prohibits subletting or assignment and where the landlord has unreasonably refused the tenant's written request to add such occupant(s), unless the total number of occupants exceeds two persons per studio rental unit, three per one-bedroom unit, four per two-bedroom unit, six per three-bedroom unit or eight per four-bedroom unit, or unless this total would exceed the number of occupants permitted under state law and/or other local codes (e.g., Planning, Housing, Fire and Building Codes) [Section 37.9(a)(2)]; and expressing the intent of the Board of Supervisors that the Rent Board Rules and Regulations regarding subletting consent procedures be substantially applied to this legislation (but modified to address the family situations that are the subject of this legislation).
