I speak from my experience as both <br />an owner and property manager on properties within the City of Los Angeles and many incorporated cities in the County of Los <br />Angeles. I've witnessed the gradual decline in the quality of rental stock, I've witnessed the defaults and intentional and <br />malicious damage to units just prior to City Inspections by renters, I've been forced to comply with upgrades with no fair pass- <br />thru provisions to the tenants that directly benefit from such improvements. I've watched occupants "stack" the unit with family <br />members or friends ramping up the cost of building operations with no recourse by property owners. But most significantly, I <br />am witnessing the consolidation of properties away from individuals and more and more moving to institutional ownership. <br />With all the expertise available to you, together with the history of failing ordinances across the State of California to "protect <br />tenants" this intended ordinance will without question take a similar path to failure; renters will be negatively impacted, the <br />quality of the housing stock will decline, neighborhoods will suffer and all will contribute to the decline in the quality of <br />life ...... For All Concerned. <br />I won't get into the matters that are legal in nature, or how the courts are already bent substantially in tenants favor, providing <br />judicial protections never imagined, but the visual & emotional impacts to citizens over time has been devastating throughout <br />the Los Angeles Areas. These ordinances are severely flawed and ignoring this evidence is negligent. Its for these reasons I <br />respectfully ask the City to take no further action on this matter and engage in meaningful dialogue with all impacted by these <br />intended measures. <br />Anthony Maniscalchi <br />Corona Del Mar CA <br />tonymaniscalchiLa),,gmail.com <br />818-606-8606 <br />
