Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject: <br />Hello Members of the Council, <br />Kayleigh Levitt < <br />Monday, August 28, 2023 1:25 PM <br />eComment <br />In support of item 21 <br />I am writing in favor of moving forward with the process to amend the rent stabilization and just cause <br />ordinance to require a supermajority to make changes to the ordinance - maintaining the maximum rent increase <br />per year at 3%. <br />These ordinances have allowed a brief respite of drastic rent increases for the units which qualify since the <br />ordinance has been passed. <br />The city is majority renters, and is significantly rent -burdened. <br />With income failing to keep up with the rising cost of rents, housing providers being able to increase the rent <br />more than 3% per year creates an unnecessarily unstable living environment for the majority of the renters in <br />the city. <br />I support taking steps to require a supermajority to make changes to this policy. <br />Warm regards, <br />Kayleigh Levitt <br />Volunteer - Tenants United Santa Ana <br />
