It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the neighborhoods where they are <br />located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety and quality of life, and more. <br />As a community partner and rental -housing provider in the city, my experience and ability to provide insight could help <br />provide potential solutions to tenants in need and would be an invaluable asset to the city in its efforts. <br />However, at NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK MY INPUT or MAKE ME AWARE that such a proposal was being <br />actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided me and my fellow rental -housing providers with a proposal that: <br />• Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provide safe, quality housing <br />to my tenants. <br />• Eliminates my ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for costs that impact our <br />rental business operations. <br />• Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry. <br />I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act" is severely <br />flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted above, I respectfully ask that <br />the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can engage in additional study and engage in <br />discussions with rental housing providers in the city. <br />Sincerely, <br />AM Property Management <br />Sent by C.McCarthy Properties LLC <br />American Property Management <br />1-855-627-7677 <br />Certified Housing Provider <br />BRE #01956215 <br />P.O.
