above.mark salinas/council member- "we want to make sure that we're adopting best practices in both landlords and of course, best practices with tenants." the council is also looking into expanding evictions for cause to all rental units in the city, including single-family homes. right now, evictions for cause applies only to units constructed before 1979. a decision on all of these proposals is still months away from becoming law. in hayward, philippe djegal, news. coming up at eight.. coming up at coming up at eight.. president trump sets the gears
