We were required to provide the maintenance to maintain our investment and had absolutely no recourse if a tenant <br />did not pay. This is an egregious response to us who are loyal to our tenants, and the city inwhich vvc do business. <br />The effect ofsuch rent cmnLo�nndcause eviction U v�doLhccrncLoppoa�U ��ILv� <br />impact rcnLcra, rental -housing providers, and theneighborhoods where they are located, in addition Loharming property <br />values, compromising public safety and quality of life, and more. <br />We are bx±ccduroud toprovide housing in 8nnLn Ann in fact weprovide property that is 'bca of the block" but with the <br />nov�cacnbzd� onofcoaLhnLcnnnoLbc Iv�ou]dask hov�dov�c continue Lodobusiness hcrc7 <br />As ncommunity partner inLhccnndnbU�vLoprovide insight <br />p run�u�nouyn��prov'our uy,n�ycr�cr�ncc _�—, xm,�. �-`, <br />N bd�m� LoLcnnnL d d would bn/nb�ob| cLLoLh �� ct�n�a Iheard the <br />�rovxzc�o�cnon solutions tenants in and v�ou be cnaa the city � <br />cmnonocnL from n CouncUmcmbcrthat vvc have to 'lry aonocLhhno ditfercnl"nonvbc so, but this is not it! <br />At NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK MY INPUT or MAKE M£ /\YV/\ILE that such nproposal was being <br />actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided me and my fellow rental-hou sing providers with a proposal that: <br />wOversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect myability Loprovide ente ouoULv <br />housing Lomytenants. <br />w £Umbuzbes my ability, and the abilityofother responsible landlords, to control and nd�mLfor costs that <br />impact our rental business operations. <br />* Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry. <br />Ibelieve that the proposed "City ofSanta Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Right/\cL is <br />severely flawed and punitive /cagainst rental -housing providers who continue to provide housing to our Santa <br />Residents. For these reasons and those highlighted above, I rcapccLhdOv ask that the city Lokc no ftirthcrncLiomn on this <br />matter unL | such time as the city can engage in additional study and engage in discussions with rental housing providers <br />in the city. <br />Juo/cm JK|oh/kik <br />
