The new ordinances became effective on November <br />19, 2021, and expand on existing protections under the California Tenant Protection Act <br />of 2019. <br />Since the adoption of the ordinances, flyers, frequently asked questions, and press <br />releases have been circulated to the community. The City also regularly updates a <br />website devoted to the ordinances, which includes related documents and <br />announcements (www.santa-ana.org/renterprotections). The ordinances are currently <br />administered by staff in partnership with RSG. <br />During this quarter, staff and RSG fielded calls from the public and provided information <br />and education to renters and property owners on the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just <br />Cause Eviction Ordinances. A breakdown of the number of inquiries is as follows: <br />Month # of Inquiries <br />April 2022 161 <br />May 2022 174 <br />June 2022 111 <br />Total 446
