Jones reversing course, will fight landlord at rent board
What a difference a week makes — or a rally.Longtime gay activist Cleve Jones has decided that, actually, he'd like to fight his new landlord who wants to see him leave his Castro neighborhood home.As the Bay Area Reporter reported March 24, Jones initially decided to leave the Castro due to a tense dispute he's having with Lily Li Pao Kue, the new owner of the building he's been renting a rent-controlled unit in for several years.Kue alleged Jones bringing Brenden Chadwick to live with him was against the lease. Jones said that doesn't matter due to San Francisco rent laws.
