Epoch Times:
An Ohio businessman is suing San Francisco in federal court over a local ordinance his lawyers say punishes him for trying to convert his residential rental property into a condominium by forcing him to allow his tenant to remain in the property for life in one of the tightest real estate markets in the country.
Plaintiff Peyman Pakdel’s lawsuit seeking to overturn the local law was rejected on Nov. 20, 2017, by San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama. Seeborg sided with San Francisco, finding, in accordance with a 34-year-old Supreme Court precedent, that Pakdel should have brought the suit in state courts first.
But in June the Supreme Court reversed itself, overturning that precedent in a move that makes it easier for property owners to seek legal redress in federal courts without first having to file suit in state courts after their property is taken.
A new wave of litigation is expected as other parties head to the courts to avail themselves of their newly discovered rights. read more
