Mary, 98, Paid Her Rent on Time for 50 Years. Then the Building's Owners Moved to Evict Her: "I Am Too Old to Pack Up and Leave"

Mary Phillips was 98 and still answering her own door. That is how KRON 4 reporter Dan Kerman found her in July 2014, in the Dolores Street apartment in San Francisco where she had lived for 50 years. She told him she had been very happy there, had “always paid my rent,” and had never been late. None of that stopped what came next. KRON reported that the building’s owners had evicted her using the Ellis Act, a California law that lets property owners take rental units off the market. Phillips told the station she had nowhere else to go. She said she did not break down when the notice came. She simply refused to believe it. With her attorneys, she decided to fight. “I am too old to pack up and leave,” she told KRON. Then she added, with a laugh, that she would just “kick the bucket right here.” Her story came out the same day several dozen protesters rallied outside the offices of the investment firm that owned the building, calling for an end to rising evictions in the city. The demonstrators claimed the firm bought buildings, cleared tenants through the Ellis Act and then resold them
