Alcala, Abigail From: eComment Subject: FW: Contact the City Council Submission From: notify@proudcity.com <notify@proudcity.com> Sent: Monday, October 16, 2023 9:50 PM To: Flores, Gaston <GFlores@santa-ana.org> Subject: Contact the City Council Submission Name David/Kathy MILLER Email Address California 92626 United States Map It Phone ( Who is this message for? • Mayor Valerie Amezcua • Mayor Pro Tern Jessie Lopez • Councilmember Thai Viet Phan • Councilmember David Penaloza • Councilmember Phil Bacerra • Councilmember Johnathan Ryan Hernandez • Councilmember Benjamin Vazquez Comments or questions The Rent Registry is an example of government overreach. I am a property owner in the United States of America. Government does not have the power over my property or my business of providing housing on my property. . The rental board that you are choosing does not have the qualifications to make the decisions over my or anyone else's business. The people on this board will not have the experience in this business. . Property owners already pay for a business license and property taxes as well as code enforcement inspections. Charging for this overreach is excessive. . The city expects landlords to run a business on a 2.54% annually OK no % my pest control is up 8%, trash chosen by the city is up 24%, Insurance on the property is up 50%, water is up 17%, electric up 24%, apartment license/ code enforcement/ rental registry up 100%, repair services up 25-40%, supplies Up 10-30%, property taxes up 2% of value, Adjustable ARMS up 33%. The City of Santa Ana is discriminating against multi family property owners and is leaving industrial and commercial properties alone. No other business is being told what they are allowed to charge to keep their business afloat. We find the state rent control to be feasible, but this city has gone beyond the compensation of how a business should be run. The ordinance that this registrar protects is not based on legal grounds, rather a lack of understanding of the business and of the economy. . Landlords are not responsible for this poor economy. It is not the job of landlords to make up for bad economic choices of the city, county , state or country. . Santa Ana is sanctuary city. It is not the place of landlords to make up the difference , through loss of income, of those who can not afford to live in the city. . The city of Santa Ana is asking landlords to gather information from tenants that are not permitted under state rent control laws.
