San Francisco Renters: Step by step guide to make millions from your greedy landlord

Due to COVID-19, San Francisco has just passed a moratorium to permanently ban evictions for tenants that don’t pay rent.

While the moratorium is vaguely written as in effect only during the COVID-19 times, let’s be real; no politician has the balls to try to remove it in the future. Rent control was once an emergency response too.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime for renters to strike back against San Francisco greedy landlords, who are all super wealthy and unjust.

Here’s how:

Step 1: Rent the nicest San Francisco apartment you possibly can

Try renting in expensive neighborhoods like Nob Hill or Russian Hill. The key here is that you’re going to be living here for a while so you want it to be comfortable.

Now you don’t have to do this, but if you want to make these steps as easy as possible, try to find an apartment being rented out by an older landlord, preferably 65+ years old. They’re less up to date on the latest laws and are more clueless.

If not, no sweat. Any landlord will do.

Step 2: Do not pay any rent

Don’t pay a single cent of rent to your greedy landlord. You’ll lose your security deposit but that’s ok. That’s nothing in the long-run.

Your landlord can no longer kick you out because of the new San Francisco mandate on permanent eviction bans.

If your landlord asks for verification of job loss or hardship, do not give in. The moratorium specifically says you don’t have to provide this evidence. Just tell your landlord, “nice try”.

Step 3: Save your money and invest it

With your San Francisco-sized salary, you’ll be saving a lot of money. You can invest in stocks, bonds, or even save enough cash to buy a house in a cheaper city.

Keep in mind that your credit score will be destroyed because your evil landlord will report you to credit agencies. But that’s totally fine. You don’t need a good credit score anymore. You have the cash to play with now.

Now, here’s the key. If you buy real estate in a cheaper state and rent it out, you’re not a greedy landlord because the market rate for rent in those cities is much less than San Francisco. That means you’re just trying to make a living, not screw renters over.

Step 4: Force your landlord to make repairs

By now, your stingy landlord will have refused to make any repairs in your unit. But you can take him to court and sue his ass. You see, in San Francisco, landlords must provide a livable condition for their tenants, no matter what.

You can even ask the tenant’s association for free legal help.

The fact is, your landlord must provide a livable apartment for you because it’s the law and it’s in the lease agreement. Your landlord cannot break the law.

Step 5: Offer to buy your landlord’s house

After a few years of not paying rent to your greedy landlord, he will have had enough. He can’t actually sell the house because no one will buy it when there is a noble tenant not paying any rent living in it.

So you will buy it with all the savings and investments you made.

But don’t offer a market rate for your landlord’s house. Offer half the price.

You see, in San Francisco, a house for sale with a tenant (such as a tenant older than 65) that cannot be kicked out is worth much less than an empty house. But you’re not just a tenant that can’t be kicked out, you also don’t pay any rent!

Your landlord will thank you for offering to buy his home for half the price. You will be doing him a favor. Your kindness will be greatly appreciated.

Step 6: Start making money from your new San Francisco house

Whatever you do, do not become a greedy San Francisco landlord yourself. You’re a righteous tenant. Always remember that.

So instead, you can turn your new house into an illegal Airbnb or one of those new “rent a home office” things that dumb startups are always creating.

Or you can move out and sell your new house at market rate and make a handsome profit.

Conclusion

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for San Francisco renters to make millions and screw over their greedy landlord. Tenants have a right to live in San Francisco for free. Always remember that. Tenants can thank the genius San Francisco politicians for solving the housing problem permanently, especially Dean Preston.
