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 />R�s 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 />Mowever, at 10 POI11T did the city reach out to SEE?� IT17711RIT or ITIA?�E­TIE ATTARE that such a propos <br />was being actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided me and my fellow rental -housing providers with a <br />proposal that: i <br />Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provid <br />safe, quality housing to my tenants. I <br />Eliminates my ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for <br />costs that impact our rental business operations. I <br />| believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Cmrnrnunhx Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights <br />Act" is severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted <br />above, | respectfully ask that the city take nmfurther 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 />Thank you for your time and assistance. | am a long time Santa Ana Owner. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ralph ASiemion <br />
