SAN FRANCISCO—Homeless women who are illegally occupying a house in the San Francisco Bay Area don’t have the right to stay and must leave within five days, a judge ruled on Jan. 10.

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Patrick McKinney previously issued a tentative ruling in favor of Wedgewood Inc., a real estate investment group that bought the Oakland property at a foreclosure auction in 2019.
