I have a rental property built before 1995. We had other jobs and worked weekends on the apartment. We did without vacations so we could make the payments and get it ready for a tenant. We didn't eat out. We ate a lot of bean soup and potato soup AKA "bum soup." My !Mon made bean soup during and after the depression. During that some time my husband' parents made potato soup which they called "bum soup." It was made with water, potatoes, and onions. I object to you deciding what amount I can get for the rent. According to Google the inflation rate as of the end of Sept of this year was 5.39%III I am sure it is higher for California. Yet, you want me to only increase my rent by 3%I! An apartment was vacant for over 1.5 years because I couldn't find someone who I considered a good tenant. Someone who is a good tenant means less problems (costs) for all your city services!!! How dare you single out one profession to be responsible for the fact that some people don't pay their rent. You increase my property taxes. Yet, you decrease the amount of income I get and have!!! Why not require other business i.e. grocery stores, Home Depot, restaurants, McDonald's, etc. to give 40% of their prices or require all residents to pay for this program? Do you think any business would not seek payment if they received a check that bounced? By adopting the rent control laws you are costing Santa Ana taxpayers millions annually to implement them!!! That will increase their property taxes. What right do you have to tell me what attorney I must use to evict a tenant for criminal activity on my property? How dare you discriminate against housing providers!!!
