They haven't been paying their rent anyways, so I'm not sure why they bothered to change the sign.

I'm curious why they haven't been kicked out after not paying rent for so long. Why does the owner allow him to stay rent free?

There’s literally nobody who would replace them. The commercial real estate market in SF is in shamble. Offices go empty all the time at a discount.

Edit: to add, it’s better to let them squat and be able to sue them later for potential money than to have the offices empty.
