It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the <br />neighborhoods where they are located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety <br />and quality of life, and more. <br />As a community partner and rental -housing provider in the city, my experience and ability to provide insight <br />could help provide potential solutions to tenants in need and would be an invaluable asset to the city in its <br />efforts. <br />However, at NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK MY INPUT or MAKE ME AWARE that such a proposal <br />was being actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided me and my fellow rental -housing providers with a <br />proposal that: <br />Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provide <br />safe, quality housing to my tenants. <br />• Eliminates my ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for <br />costs that impact our rental business operations. <br />Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry. <br />I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights <br />Act' is severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted <br />above, I respectfully ask that the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can <br />engage in additional study and engage in discussions with rental housing providers in the city. <br />Sincerely, <br />JAY SKENDERIAN <br />Jay Skenderian <br />Partner <br />MORGAN ■ ►7KENDERUN <br />I N V E S T M E N T REAL ESTATE GROUP <br />4590 MacArthur Blvd. #260 1 Newport Beach, CA 92660 <br />T: 949-251-8800 1 F: 949-251-8899 1 C: 949-300-8180 <br />skmorganskenderian.com I www.morganskenderian.com <br />CADRE Lic. # 01220368 <br />
