Salas, Diana <br />From: Ed Masterson <ed.masterson@cox.net> <br />Sent: Monday, May 04, 2020 4:52 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Subject: Rescind the Rent Freeze Executive Order <br />Dear City Clerk: <br />I am opposed to Santa Ana's executive order mandating a citywide rent freeze. As a rental <br />housing provider and taxpayer, I am working with my tenants who have been affected by the <br />COVID-19 emergency, but this rent freeze goes too far. <br />The city's executive order is clearly in violation of the statewide Costa -Hawkins Rental <br />Housing Act. It is written to apply to all rental properties in Santa Ana and assumes that all <br />renters have been impacted by COVID-19 without requiring any evidence to be provided. <br />Rental -housing providers still need to keep up with their mortgage, property tax, insurance, <br />payroll, and other expenses. <br />I respectfully request that the Santa Ana City Council take immediate action to rescind Section <br />3 of Executive Order No. 2-2020 and ensure the city's compliance with state law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ed & Cathy Masterson <br />q5 <br />
