The <br />proposed "Rent Control" and "Just Cause Eviction" eliminates our ability to control the rent adjustment which <br />impacts our business operations and our ability to maintain our community. We are always providing the best <br />service to our residents as far as safety, exceptional quality improvements, extraordinary customer service, <br />and our goal is to make coming home the best part of our resident's day. This ordinance if approved, will <br />certainly have the reverse effect on our residents. How can you expect any housing provider to deliver quality <br />services and products, yet you are tying their hands with the ability to maintain and continually improve their <br />assets? <br />This is a huge impact to us as Rental -Housing Providers. The proposal is only favorable for some renters, but <br />that really is only in the short term. Rent Control limits construction and renovation of communities which will <br />limit the number of apartments in Santa Ana overall. This would only intensify the current housing shortage in <br />Santa Ana. How is that possibly providing quality living and drawing people who want to live in the city of <br />Santa Ana? <br />I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights <br />Act" is severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted <br />above, I respectfully ask that the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can <br />engage in additional study and engage in discussions with rental housing providers in the city. <br />Respectfully, <br />Tac Tran I Community Director <br />Park Plaza Apartments <br />805 W.
