These two cities have the types of <br />rent control and just cause eviction policies you are considering for Santa Ana. <br />I support the city's goal to improve the quantity, diversity, and affordability of housing. However, this cannot be <br />achieved through studying or adopting rent control (aka rent stabilization) and just cause eviction policies. <br />Rent control is a counterproductive policy. It will not produce any new affordable housing or address the city's long-term <br />housing concerns. It also creates barriers for landlords to rent to protected or marginal tenants. With limited financial <br />resources, mom and pop landlords will not rent to these types of tenants because of the risks involved. <br />
