LexisNexis® Automated California Judicial Council FormsIMPORTANT 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: Terrlyn Albert
(“Tenant(s)”) and all other persons residing at the following location:
755 Missouri Street, 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 December 24, 2004, a San Francisco Police Department Officer observed Ronell
Brembry in a suspected drug transaction in the 700 Block of Missouri Street, San
Francisco, CA., When Brembry was detained by the police, he told them that he lived at
755 Missouri Street, San Francisco, CA., which is your residence. He is not listed as a
Household Member on your San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA) Dwelling Lease
nor has SFHA given approval for him to live there. At that time and place police found
four cocaine rocks under a towel on top of a table located directly in front of your
residence and Brembry had been observed to walk there during the suspected drug
transaction. He told the police that he lived at your residence and when officers
conducted a parole search there at that time, they found indicia in his bedroom that he
did indeed live there. He was arrested for sale of cocaine base and possession for sale of
cocaine base. 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.
\
Fy enw 2”If 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 jiJos of the Notice to Quit.

necessary to protect the health or safety of a Household Member or another SFHA resident; or (3) a transfer is necessary so that the
SFHA may repair, retrofit, replace or modify the Residence; or (4) a Household Member needs to live in a unit with special features (e.g.,
handicap access) not available at the Residence; then the Household shall transfer to an alternate SFHA unit within 30 days of written
notification by the SFHA that the unit is available. Upon receipt of the keys to the new unit, Tenants shall immediately transfer all
