As a rental <br />housing provider and taxpayer, I fear this order will cause many local landlords to loose <br />income necessary to maintain the property and possibly be forced to sell or loose rental <br />properties. I and fellow property owners will work with tenants who have been affected by the <br />COVID-19 emergency in compliance with the statewide eviction moratorium. <br />The City's Executive Order is clearly in violation of the statewide Costa -Hawkins Rental <br />Housing Act. The City's Order 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 evidence to <br />be provided. Rental -housing providers still need to keep up with their mortgage, property tax, <br />insurance, 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 />I was born in Santa Ana and a lifelong resident. I have been fortunate to purchase and <br />personally maintain rental properties in OC. Please show respect to landlords. We provide <br />needed & fair housing for your City residents. <br />Leslie Manderscheid <br />PO Box 10684 <br />Newport Beach, CA <br />
