Lim v. S.F. Residential Rent Stabilization and Arb
This is an appeal from judgment after the trial court sustained the demurrer of defendant San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Board (hereinafter, Board). Plaintiffs Adoria Lim and Hanh Truong, owners of a three-unit residential dwelling in San Francisco, brought this lawsuit as a petition for a writ of administrative mandamus (Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5) to challenge the Board’s decision to uphold the administrative law judge’s (ALJ) finding that two of the three rental units in their dwelling fell outside an exemption to the San Francisco rent control ordinance and, thus, were subject to this ordinance. The trial court dismissed the one-count writ petition after concluding plaintiffs had failed to join as necessary and indispensable parties the tenants residing in their rental units, and that the 90-day limitations period for joining them had passed, requiring its dismissal. We affirm.
