There was nothing to back up their story no data to make a decision <br />nothing proven or demonstrated. <br />I have not raised rent on my property in Santa Ana for three years. My current rent raise <br />averaged to 2.3% per year. <br />The council is misleading its constituents. Rent will go up EVERY year with this ordinance. This <br />ordinance is not going to fix their problems. There are many issues which lead to the high cost of <br />rent in Orange County. and Santa Ana. Targeting one group, the landlords, is discrimination. <br />With this city ordinance, the buildings will not be kept in repair causing neighborhoods to turn <br />to blight. Landlords will not be able to save money for repairs or replacements such as <br />roofs, driveways, painting or major plumbing such as repipes. The state policies already in <br />place, should stay in place. City ordinances on top of those from the state do not help the <br />situation. In fact„they would make conditions for renters worse. <br />Just Cause Evictions do not serve the residents. For 100 years there has been the 1 year lease <br />which allows for the landlord to get to know their tenants. After the first year they then go to a <br />month to month agreement. Why is there a need to change this? Is it fair to the other residents in <br />the building to have loud or illegal or dangerous activity on the property where they are living <br />and raising their children? Taking all judgment from the landlord on this issue only makes life <br />for the other residents potentially dangerous. <br />Establish city Council appointed board with broad authority. <br />Why city Council appointed? <br />Who is funding this board? <br />Who will serve on this board, who can be influenced? <br />Are they educated, what experience do they have? <br />
