45 days in any 12-month period without the prior written permission of the SFHA. Tenants shall immediately (no later than 10 days after
the occurrence) notify the SFHA in writing if any Household Member vacates or no longer resides at the Residence.
lf Tenants want to add a Household Member (excluding natural births), that person must first meet all applicable eligibility and screening
requirements. The SFHA shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate additional eligible persons to the Household except where the
addition would result in overcrowding of the Residence. The Household, however, shall not be entitled to any priority or preference with

pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 6 (RENT DETERMINATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS).

SAN FRANCISCO HOUSING AUTHORITY LEASE -- PAGE 4 OF 4IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE - DO NOT DISREGARD
THREE- DAY NOTICE TO VACATE PREMISES
PLEASE DISREGARD ALL PRIOR NOTICES
THIS NOTICE SUPERCEDES AND RESCINDS ALL PRIOR NOTICES
TO: Annie Lewis
(“Tenant(s)”) and all other persons residing at the following location:
1778 Sunnydale Avenue, San Francisco, CA (“Premises”)
This notice is given pursuant to the written lease agreement (“Lease”) between the undersigned
Housing Authority of the City and County of San Francisco (“SFHA”) and the tenant, pursuant to
the Lease, you now hold possession of the dwelling unit described above (“Premises”).
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the SFHA has elected to terminate the Lease and your
tenancy of the Premises at the end of three (3) days from the date you receive this notice, for the
following reasons:
The Tenant, a member of the Tenant’s household, a guest or another person under the
Tenant’s control has engaged in the following lease violations:
On August 11, 2004, San Francisco Police Department Officers came to your residence
at 1778 Sunnydale Avenue, San Francisco, CA., with an outstanding warrant for your
son, Mario Murray, who was living at your residence, even though he is not listed on
you San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA) Dwelling Lease as a Household Member
nor has the SFHA given approval for him to reside there. At that time and place the
police officers entered your residence and found Murray and other individuals there. A
search of Murray and the residence revealed suspected base cocaine and powder cocaine
on Murray’s person and suspected base cocaine and suspected marijuana in kitchen
cabinets at your residence. Murray was arrested for possession for sale of a controlled
substance, and possession of cocaine base for sale. You are hereby notified that you are
in violation of Paragraph 13 (L) of your lease agreement with the San Francisco Housing
Authority which states “To assure that all Household Members, guests, or other persons
under the Tenant’s control, shall not engage in: (1) any activity that threatens the health,
safety or the right to peaceful enjoyment of any of the premises of other residents or
SFHA employees; or (2) any drug related criminal activity on or off SFHA property. “
The conduct described above constitutes a serious violation of a material term of the Lease and
good cause for eviction from the Premises.
YOU ARE HEREBY REQUIRED TO QUIT AND SURRENDER POSSESSION OF THE
PREMISES WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS AFTER SERVICE OF THIS NOTICE ON YOU. You
may make such reply to this notice as you wish. HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO A
GRIEVANCE HEARING BEFORE THE SFHA TO CONTEST THIS NOTICE TO VACATE.
‘A termination of a Lease for the reasons stated in this notice is exempt from the SFHA Grievance
Procedures.
Swit 2If you do not quit possession of the Premises within the three days of service of this notice, then
the SFHA shall sue you in the San Francisco Superior Court to evict you from the Premises. The
SFHA’s lawsuit to evict you shall be based on California’s “unlawful detainer” statute.
(California Code of Civil Procedure section 1161.) The United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development has determined that California’s eviction law provides the opportunity for a
hearing in a court that provides the basic elements of due process protection. The SFHA shall also
seek to declare forfeiture of the Lease and to recover court costs and actual damages for your
unlawful detention of the Premises (the actual cost to the SFHA of operating and maintaining the
Premises), which may be more than the current rent charged.
The Tenant, upon reasonable request, has the right to examine any SFHA documents directly
relevant to this termination of the Lease and tenancy. The Tenant shall be allowed to copy any
such document at the Tenant's expense.
The Premises described above are federally subsidized and therefore exempt from the San
Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization & Arbitration Ordinance. Rent is due and payable
through the expiration of the Notice to Quit.
