SAMPLE EMAIL FOR RENTAL -HOUSING PROVIDERS Dear Councilmember, I am a rental -housing provider in Santa Ana and I wish to express my opposition to the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act' that appears on the September 21 st city council agenda. The proposal may seek to assist renters, but the effect of such over -reaching rent control and just cause eviction policies will do the exact opposite. It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the neighborhoods where they are located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety and quality of life, and more. As a community partner and rental -housing provider in the city, my experience and ability to provide insight could help provide potential solutions to tenants in need and would be an invaluable asset to the city in its efforts. However, at NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK MY INPUT or MAKE ME AWARE that such a proposal was being actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided me and my fellow rental -housing providers with a proposal that: • Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provide safe, quality housing to my tenants. • Eliminates my ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for costs that impact our rental business operations. Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry.
