Orozco, Norma From: Tere Bailey <tere.bailey@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2021 11:59 AM To: eComment Subject: Tenant Rights Act - 9/21/2021 Santa Ana City Council Agenda Dear Councilmember, Riverview Community Partners is a rental -housing provider in Santa Ana and they wish to express their opposition to the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act' that appears on the September 21 st city council agenda. The proposal may seek to assist renters, but the effect of such over -reaching rent control and just cause eviction policies will do the exact opposite. It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the neighborhoods where they are located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety, quality of life, and more, At NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK OUR INPUT or MAKE US AWARE that such a proposal was being actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided all of the rental -housing providers with a proposal that: • Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect the ability to provide safe, quality housing to our tenants. • Eliminates our ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for costs that impact our rental business operations. • Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry. I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act' is severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted above, We respectfully ask that the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can engage in additional study and engage in discussions with rental housing providers in the city.
