It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the neighborhoods <br />where they are located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety and quality of life, and <br />As a rental -housing provider in the city, I treat my tenants well, protect their safety, maintain the premises and ver <br />very rarely raise their rent in the interest of maintaining a good atmosphere. This law penalizes me for being a goo <br />respectful and beyond fair landlord. I fell it is a wake up call to me to raise the rent annually Inorder to assure I will <br />have necessary future funds for improvements, keep up with inflation, and protect the value of my property. If this <br />passes I will have to reconsider my ways and start raising rents annually. Please do not pass I <br />w Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provide safe, quality <br />housing tmrnytenants. <br />Eliminates my ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for costs that impa <br />our rental business operations. I <br />I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act" is <br />q,everely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted above, I <br />respectfully ask that the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can engage in additional <br />r.tudy and engage in discussions with rental housing providers in the city. <br />SuzmnocWcroickc <br />N.
