As a rental housing provider <br />and taxpayer, I am working with my tenants who have been affected by the COVID-19 emergency, but this <br />rent freeze goes too far. <br />The city's executive order is clearly in violation of the statewide Costa -Hawkins Rental Housing Act. It is <br />written to apply to all rental properties in Santa Ana and assumes that all renters have been impacted by <br />COVID-19 without requiring any evidence to be provided. Rental -housing providers still need to keep up <br />with their mortgage, property tax, insurance, payroll, and other expenses. <br />I respectfully request that the Santa Ana City Council take immediate action to rescind Section 3 of <br />Executive Order No. 2.2020 and ensure the city's compliance with state law. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tim ONeil <br />I <br />
