Orozco, Norma <br />From: Aurora R Chavez <jfchavez75@sbcglobal.net> <br />Sent: Monday, October 18, 2021 4:52 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: No rent Control <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />Dear Councilmember, <br />I am a rental -housing provider in Orange County and I wish to express my opposition to the proposed "City of Santa <br />Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act" that appears on the October 5th city council <br />agenda. <br />The proposal may seek to assist renters, but the effect of such over -reaching rent control and just cause eviction <br />policies will do the exact opposite. It will negatively impact renters, rental -housing providers, and the neighborhoods <br />where they are located, in addition to harming property values, compromising public safety and quality of life, and <br />more. <br />As a community partner and rental -housing provider in the Orange County, my experience and ability to provide <br />insight could help provide potential solutions to tenants in need and would be an invaluable asset to the city in its <br />efforts. <br />However, at NO POINT did the city reach out to SEEK MY INPUT or MAKE anyone in the Rental Business AWARE <br />that such a proposal was being actively developed. Instead, the city blindsided us and my fellow rental -housing <br />providers with a proposal that: <br />• Oversteps existing state laws and imposes onerous restrictions that affect my ability to provide safe, quality <br />housing to my tenants. <br />• Eliminates our ability, and the ability of other responsible landlords, to control and adjust for costs that impact <br />our rental business operations. <br />• Undermines the very nature of existing housing law as it pertains to the rental industry. <br />I believe that the proposed "City of Santa Ana Community Preservation, Rent Stabilization, Tenants' Rights Act" is <br />severely flawed and punitive against rental -housing providers. For these reasons and those highlighted above, I <br />respectfully ask that the city take no further action on this matter until such time as the city can engage in additional <br />study and engage in discussions with rental housing providers in the city. <br />No Rent Control its bad Business <br />Sincerely, <br />Juan & Aurora Chavez <br />
