As a <br />rental housing provider and taxpayer, I am working with my tenants who have been <br />affected by the 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 <br />Rental Housing Act. It is written to apply to all rental properties in Santa Ana and <br />assumes that all renters have been impacted by COVID-19 without requiring any <br />evidence to be provided. Rental -housing providers still need to keep up with their <br />mortgage, property tax, insurance, payroll, and other expenses. <br />I respectfully request that the Santa Ana City Council take immediate action to <br />rescind Section 3 of Executive Order No. 2-2020 and ensure the city's compliance <br />with state law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gene Almani <br />Ij <br />
