A 100-year-old San Francisco woman staved off eviction for at least another week when a judge granted her eleventh request for a stay since March, giving her lawyer more time to come up with a plan to keep her in her home for the remainder of her life.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge A. James Robertson ordered Tuesday that the eviction of Iris Canada from her Western Addition home be put off for seven days.

The stay will expire at 5 p.m. Tuesday. But Canada’s lawyer, Dennis Zaragoza, said he has a plan of action to ensure that Canada can remain in the Page Street apartment she has called home since 1965.

Zaragoza said he will continue to ask for seven-day reprieves until he makes a formal request on Oct. 11 for the court to hear a motion for an indefinite stay for Canada. In the meantime, he plans to gather evidence to bolster an argument that his centenarian client should be granted an indefinite stay.

Canada’s battle comes after the owners of her unit said she violated the “life estate” agreement that gave her the right to live in her apartment at a fixed rate of $700 a month for life.

“I’m a little bit at a loss as to what the court is thinking,” said Peter Owens, one of the owners of the unit. “I’m not sure what the purpose of the stays are at this point.”

Owens says Canada has been living with her niece, Iris Merriouns, in Oakland since 2012 — a violation of the elderly woman’s life-estate agreement. Merriouns denies the claim.

But in March 2016, Robertson ruled that, “Canada has failed to permanently reside at the Premises as the sole and only occupant.” The judge declined a request from The Chronicle to comment because the case is ongoing.
