§ 8.22.400. Statement of purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Measure EE, the Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance adopted by the electorate on November 5, 2002, includes the withdrawal of rental units from the rental market as one of the allowable causes for eviction of tenants (Measure EE, Section 6A(11). The purpose of this Municipal Code Section is to enact and implement the constraints on and procedures for such withdrawals as authorized by the Ellis Act (Government Code 7060, et seq.). This section shall be interpreted so as to provide the city with the broadest range of authority permitted under these provisions and to intrude the least into the city's authority in all other applications of its power. This Section O.M.C. 8.22.400 shall not be construed to permit the conversion of any rental housing to condominiums, hotels or any other use, which conversions are otherwise regulated by the City of Oakland, the State of California, or other applicable law.
