Defendants
Plaintiff San Francisco Housing Authority (“Plaintiff”), and defendant Llysa Castellanos.
(“Defendant”) enter into the above Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Entry of Judgment
or Dismissal (“Stipulation”) in the above-entitled action with reference to the real property
located at 33 Dakota St., San Francisco, CA 94107 (“Premises”). Defendant acknowledges that
her tenancy has been terminated and her rental agreement has been forfeited. However, Plaintiff
and Defendant agree that Defendant may maintain possession of the Premises, so long as she
complies with the terms of this Stipulation.
1. Each provision of this Stipulation is considered material by the parties. Time is of the
essence in performance of all obligations hereunder. The term of this Stipulation will be from
the date that the parties execute this Stipulation until Defendant pays off the balance in paragraph
1
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSALthree in full. (“Termination Date”). If Defendant’s income should decrease pursuant to
paragraph three, the amount of the payment due and owing under paragraph three will be
decreased so that it remains no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s adjusted income. If Defendant’s
income should decrease pursuant to paragraph three, the Termination Date of this Stipulation
will continue until Defendant pays off the balance in paragraph three in full. At the termination
of this Stipulation, as long as Defendant is not in default with respect to any provision of this
Stipulation, Defendant’s tenancy will be automatically reinstated and Plaintiff will file a Request
for Entry of Dismissal.
2. Beginning on July 1, 2012, Defendant shall pay damages in an amount equivalent to
the monthly rental rate of eighty-three dollars ($83.00) on or before the fifth of each month. If
the damage amount is adjusted due to a change in Defendant’s income, Defendant shall pay the
adjusted damage amount.
3. In addition to the damages payable pursuant to paragraph two above, Defendant
agrees that she owes Plaintiff the sum of one thousand six hundred one dollars ($1,601.00) which}
represents unlawful detainer damages for the period ending June 30, 2012. Beginning July 1,
2012, Defendant shall pay, on or before the fifth of each month, damages in the amount of
twenty-five dollars ($25.00) toward the Balance, calculated at no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s
adjusted monthly income. If Defendant’s income should decrease, the amount of this payment
will be decreased so that it remains no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s adjusted monthly income.
It remains Defendant’s obligation to report changes in income in accordance with her rental
agreement. Defendant may make additional payments toward the Balance or pay off the Balance
in full at any time.
4. If Defendant breaches paragraphs two or three of this Stipulation it will be considered
a material breach of this Stipulation and Plaintiff is entitled to entry of judgment for possession
of the Premises, issuance of a writ of possession and forfeiture of the rental agreement and any
unpaid balance then due and owing. After the first missed payment future payments will be
adjusted to reflect the missed payment as well as the recurring obligations under this Stipulation.
2
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSALPlaintiff may move for entry of judgment via ex parte application upon seven days written notice
to Defendant.
5. Defendant understands and agrees that the payments required by this Stipulation do
not constitute rent nor do they act to create a new tenancy or reinstate Defendant’s tenancy but
instead are damages pursuant to settlement unless and until she has completed all obligations
required by this Stipulation. After expiration of this Stipulation and dismissal of this case, all
payments made pursuant to sections two and three will be credited to Defendant as rent.
Defendant further agrees that any recertification of Defendant during the pendency of this
Stipulation will not reinstate her tenancy or act as a waiver of Plaintiff's rights under this
Stipulation.
6. If Defendant transfers to another rental unit owned or managed by Plaintiff after
execution of this Stipulation, Defendant agrees that all terms and conditions of this Stipulation
will transfer and apply to any such rental unit that she may transfer or move to during the terms
of this Stipulation including but not limited to the Termination Date. The signing of a rental
agreement for any other rental unit owned or managed by Plaintiff after execution of this
Stipulation will not invalidate, cancel, waive, or terminate the repayment plan set forth in
sections two and three of this Stipulation.
7. Defendant acknowledges that her tenancy has been terminated and the rental
agreement has been forfeited. However, Defendant agrees to fully comply with all obligations
under the rental agreement, the guest policy and house rules, as if her tenancy had not been
terminated, except for those obligations related to payment of unlawful detainer damages, length
of term, extension of term, recertification and except as otherwise set forth herein. As such,
grievance procedure provisions of the rental agreement will remain in effect for all issues not
specifically covered by this Stipulation. Inclusion or reference to the rental agreement, guest
policy, and house rules will not act to create or reinstate Defendant’s tenancy at the Premises. If
there is any conflict between the rental agreement and this Stipulation, the terms of this
Stipulation will control in all respects.
3
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSAL8. Plaintiff and Defendant each acknowledge they have the right to a trial by jury and
with full knowledge of the legal consequences; the parties each hereby waive their right to a trial
by jury. Defendant knowingly and voluntarily waives the right to appeal any judgment or writ
of possession entered pursuant to this Stipulation, or to file any motions for relief from forfeiture,
to set aside, or vacate any judgment or writ of possession.

herein. It is expressly understood and agreed that this Stipulation may not be altered, modified,
amended, or otherwise changed in any respect whatsoever, except by written agreement of the
parties. The parties agree that they will make no claim at any time that this Stipulation has been
altered or modified or otherwise changed by oral communication of any kind or character.

discharge the principals, attorneys, employees, representatives, and agents from any and all
claims, debts, actions, causes of action, liabilities, demands, damages, losses, and lawsuits, of
