As a rental housing provider and <br />taxpayer, I am working with my tenants who have been affected by the COVID-19 emergency, but this rent freeze goes <br />too far. <br />The city's executive order is clearly in violation of the statewide Costa -Hawkins Rental Housing Act. It is written to apply <br />to all rental properties in Santa Ana and 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 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 3 of Executive Order No. <br />2-2020 and ensure the city's compliance with state law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Perry Cornwell SRA <br />26 <br />
