Middleton, Samuel From: Aaron Peluso <cchcorp@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 4, 2022 12:45 PM To: eComment Subject: 10/04 Council Agenda Item 25 - Adoption of Ordinance Amending Rent Control Ordinance Hello, I am writing as a representative of the ownership of Bali Hi Mobile Home Park located at 432 S Harbor Blvd. I am writing in support of Sue Loftins 9/30/22 letter to the city. I would specifically like to voice my opposition to the Tenant Impact Report provision prior to sale. I remain unclear on the Capital Improvement/NOI rent application process and function. Parks established in the mid 50+ years ago require significant maintenance and upkeep. As Loftin details, there does not seem to be any city assistance helping property owners navigate this needless rapidly evolving bureaucracy Meanwhile the city has actively whipped Tenant's into a frenzy over this issue and even offers legal advice to Tenants...? This rent issue seemed to come to the city's attention following a Tenant activist organization mobilizing our Tenant's after we raised rents to $799 for all Tenants. In a handful of cases this resulted in a large single year adjustment, to bring all long term Tenants to the same rental rate. This large adjustment was not repeated and it is worth noting that the $799 rate was below the Section 8 standard of affordability that year. How can it be abusive if its under the Section 8 guideline? The city performed a rental survey and found that we were among, if not the cheapest mobile home park in the city, after the rent adjustment. As Loftin details, there never was a need for a rent stabilization program in the first place. There was no evidence of abusive rent increases then, nor since.
