My husband and I worked hard <br />to save for the down payment of these apartments on Lacy. <br />Since we've owned these apartments, built in the 1950's, we've replaced windows, doors, kitchens, just recently <br />replaced the exterior stairs to the second story as they were not in stable condition any longer. <br />Our costs also have gone up 5 fold for trash, water is so high now we have reduced water to the lawn <br />significantly. <br />To save money we personally manage our property. <br />We know each of our tenants and their families. <br />When my tenants have hardship situations we work them out together. <br />I don't understand why you are adapting such a hard stance against Santa Ana Landlords? What have we done <br />but provide much needed housing to the community. <br />If you do this ... you'll be forcing out the Smaller landlords from the community. Is this the end goal? <br />Do you just want us to be taken over by large developers and clear the path that way? <br />I feel you are imposing a very unjust sweeping solution and forcing out landlords who are smaller and unable to <br />protect themselves with big law firms. <br />Please reconsider this devastating action against <br />Landlords and property owners in Santa Ana. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lorraine Tapia Bader <br />Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS <br />
