Washington and Maria Davila have been living in a house they have been renting in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood for the past seven years. But now, because their landlord, who lives in Las Vegas and is suffering from cancer, is in foreclosure, Wells Fargo is planning to sell the house at an auction this Friday. According to the Ellis Act, a new owner-occupant of the house could evict the Davilas.
On Friday, as part of the Occupy Wall Street West day of action, Occupy Bernal is determined to disrupt the housing auction to stop the eviction of our neighbors. We also will be leafleting potential home buyers, calling on them not to buy the Davilas’ home.
