Becerra, Alexis <br />From: <br />MIKE SETO < <br />Sent: <br />Friday, September 26, 2025 10:11 AM <br />To: <br />rentstabilization@santa-ana.org <br />Cc: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />Concern Regarding Rent Control Exemption Requirement <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Santa Ana Rent Stabilization Division, <br />We are landlords operating in the City of Santa Ana, and we have consistently fulfilled our obligations <br />by paying property taxes and rental business license fees every year. However, we are concerned <br />about the additional requirement to submit a Rent Control Exemption form annually. <br />We would like to understand why Santa Ana imposes this extra administrative step when other cities <br />in Orange County do not. It feels burdensome and unnecessary, especially for properties that clearly <br />qualify for exemption under the ordinance. Is there a reason this process cannot be streamlined or <br />automatically recognized based on existing records? <br />We respectfully urge the City to reconsider this requirement or provide clearer justification for its <br />necessity. We also hope more property owners will voice their concerns so that a fair and balanced <br />approach can be achieved. <br />Could you please confirm receipt of this message and advise if any changes to the exemption <br />process are being considered? <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Seetao <br /> <br />
