Tenant rights need to be protected but this is a massive overstep and will ultimately discourage investment. I am looking for property but will likely avoid Chula Vista if this is passed. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Ross R Peterson Additional harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies could force owners out of business and will deter investment in rental properties. We need more rental properties and this ordinance will discourage investment. Costly relocation payments will discourage rental property upgrades. We just upgraded our property and we'd like to be able to afford more. Thank you Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 JAMES D. PORTMAN ANOTHER GOVERNMENT OVER ‐ REACH !! LANDLORDS HAVE HAD ENOUGH COSTLY RESTRICTIONS PLACED FOR TWO YEARS, LET THIS PROPOSAL DIE ! Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 William Lane When will the landlords get some consideration? We are also constituents. I am no mogul, I own a duplex and rent one side. You are killing little guys with over regulation. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Nick N. This ordinance would further break lines of communications that property managers have with tenants. In an age where everyone is a "lawyer", this would only allow tenants who are already not following lease rules to cite "harassments" against property managers or owners who are simply doing their job in enforcing their lease. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Roberto Gonzalez These extreme measures will disincentive rental providers and lead to higher rents, as owners will inevitably offset those additional operating costs. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Dario I strongly oppose.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Dejon Davis There is no need for more unnecessary rental protections when Cailfornia already has some of the strictest in the Nation. All this does is make landlords become more stringent in screening and raise rents to protect housing investments. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Julius S Paeske Jr I oppose the proposed action by the City of Chula Vista. I believe that this action is rushed and the proposed ordinance is ill‐ conceived and would require housing providers to comply with complicated and overreaching controls on private ownership of real property. The State of California has current laws that provide adequate protection to residents of private housing and this is simply another government over reach, that will cost local government additional administration and enforcement expense. Tenants have access to necessary assistance and protection in enforcing current landlord tenant rules and ordinances and the City should not get further involved in such maƩers. Imposing unreasonable and unnecessary rules and ordinances will discourage private investment in badly needed housing for the community. I strongly urge Chula Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Matt Ruane This ordinance has been rushed requiring housing providers to learn a new set of rules within 30 days; creates a divide between providers and the residents; costly relocation payments will discourage necessary upgrades. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Karen Washam I have been managing 153 units in Chula Vista for my owner for 40 years. Even with a pandemic where we couldn't evict ‐ we only have TWO tenants that we want to have move out. We have enough state laws and ordinances. We don't need more. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Daniel Hernandez The ordinance is not fair to property owners. California has already implemented sufficient ordinances to protect residents. Where is the protection for business owners, it is not in our best interest to evict or ask residents to move out. We want our clients/residents to stay with us. It is rare when we ask people to move out and there is a just cause already in place. What more resident protection is needed? Please stop the nonsense. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Danny, Gabriel Please consider that the fees and entitlement costs for new projects is already sky high. Adding even more costs would be a further hindrance in developing more workforce housing. We NEED more work force housing not more fees. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 joseph OKeefe Most of Chula Vista s apartment buildings were built in the "50's, '60's and '70's. I disagree with any proposal that would halt the updating of this housing stock. (Check with Naomi who does apartment inspections for the City) Tenants can move out of their units anytime with just a 30 day notice. During Covid, an owner has not been able to give a notice to vacate even for non‐payment of rent. Normally an owner would have to give a tenant in residence for more than on year a 60 day notice, 30 days more than they give the landlord. Additionally, all tenants being evicted are given free legal advice by the Legal Aid Society. Current Ca. Landlord /Tenant laws are currently very favorable to tenants rights with the landlord bearing all of burden of tenant turnover. This would be clear if you every personally had to do an unlawful detainer for non‐ payment of rent of any other court issue. These costs are in the Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Kathleen Nguyen I believe this ordinance will hurt more than help tenants. Putting a barrier between landlords and tenants will result in landlord taking aggressive measures faster. Since communication is cut short, tenants can't plead their case for landlord to consider. Everything will be done by the law and paperwork and there will no longer be a human interaction. This will create more paperwork for the landlord and force them to be more diligent. This may help the tenants in the short term but in the long term, will be detrimental to the landlord/tenant relationship. Tenants will no longer be a partner with the landlord but will now become either an asset or a liability.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 neville rich I relocated to California in the 1980's as result of rent controls. Tenants there pushed too hard and short term thinking politicians listened to them and we moved on to California and have provided good quality accommodation at fair prices for over 30 years. It's been hard work even with no govt interference. We've checked out Jacksonville Florida and it seems quite welcoming so on we go. I assume that I'm not the only one. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Peter Carlseen This is a poorly thought out measure and needs to be scrapped. As written, this will undoubtedly result in fewer single family rental options for Chula Vista residents, which is already dwindling. The measure goes way above current state protecƟons. Why not re‐name it to better represent what it really is ‐ Tenant ENTITLEMENT Act. Landlords have rights too‐ they're the ones taking the risk of owning the property, paying for repairs, taking the risks of renting it out, etc. I've been in the property management business for 17+ years and if you look around, you'll see that a vast majority of landlords are trying to do what's right, following the laws, and want good tenants that will take good care of their homes. You need to enforce rules and laws that are already on the books instead of looking for more ways Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Chad Dannecker Such a bad idea for so many reasons. Please don't turn San Diego into San Francisco. There is a max exodus there for a reason. Keep San Diego Awesome!! Please oppose this! Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Connie Graves This ordinance will definitely create a situation where people will not be willing to rent out their property. They will sell instead, creating an even more acute housing shortage. This is socialism! Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Richard Lemire This ordinance is absolutely crazy. When are we going to protect our landlords. I am a retired serviceman and have a few units. It took me 8 months and an eviction order to start working on a unit to sell. How is that right? Don't pass this ordinance. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Dean A Kelly Please consider the impact these new rules will have on property owners. There is already sufficient avenues for tenants to file complaints against property owners. Tenants are protected much more then property owners. A large percentage of rental property owners are Mum and Dad investors not huge investment companies and these new rules will push those people out of the market. The control of property owned by landlords should always be controlled by the owners not the tenants. If a landlord wants to upgrade a property or sell it why are we taking away those rights or making the property owner pay for relocation. This will not fix any of the anything and will create more problems in the rental housing market. There needs to be a balance between landlord rights and tenant rights but this proposal pushes the rights of a property owner too far towards tenants rights. It has no balance.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Jan Farley The State and County have already enacted more than adequate tenant protections over the last two years. Not only will these new overreaching measures disincentivize the creation of new rental housing, but will also cause a retraction of existing stock. None of this is good for those in need of rental housing ‐ shortage of supply always causes a rise in pricing. As a property manager, I would advise my clients, the property owners, to get out of the business in Chula Vista. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Robert Snyder Enough intrusion on our rights Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 anthony f bartolo Proposed harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies could force owners out of business and will deter investment in rental properƟes. Relocation payments are added costs that will discourage rental property upgrades. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Virginia Gibbs Problems with this ordinance include the following: ‐ Makes Substantial Remodels Much Harder ‐ Creates laws and allows for civil action and damages of $2,000‐ 5,000 per violaƟon. ‐ Criminalizes any violation of the ordinance and creates fines in the thousands of dollars. There are a few bad owners. Chula Vista will punish everyone. ‐ Makes removing homes from the rental market or demolishing a building extremely difficult and impractical. Keeping potential new homeownership opportunities off the market. ‐ Reduces tax revenue to the city as fewer properties are upgraded and change hands. The TPO will make upgrading old and decrepit housing inventory extremely difficult and expensive. Tenants will be forced to settle for decaying substandard housing as few other reasonable options will Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Erika Diez Totally opposing TPO. Due to several circumstances many people rely only on rental property and if the proposal makes it harder for owners to keep their properties it will not help either tenant nor owners. investment property should still be attractive for investors all over the world, so let's not make it more difficult than the challenges it already has. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Steven Roa This ordinance will disincentivize landlords and create a situation where properties are allowed to deteriorate over time. I would not take a chance on upgrading my property if it meant I would be risking a fine. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 William Darnall Over the long run the proposed ordinance will (1) result in a deterioration of housing stock because owners will not want spend the money for relocation and deal with potential claims of harassment, extended noticing periods, etc. (2) Housing investors will look outside Chula Vista to acquire apartments and existing owners will not see any "upside" in completing improvements, due to lack of buyers. (3) Over the long‐ run, owners will need to increase rents to make up for the cost of relocation fees, costs of compliance and longer noticing periods. (4) The ordinance actually incentives owners to keep apartments vacant, rather than comply with relocation fees and other costs of compliance.

I serve a need here but operate on a small profit margin already. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Aurora I am speaking for homeowners of 4 properties or less, because many families have more than 1 child. How many of the calls reflect a win in court? It has become popular to gaslight homeowners or cry wolf. This ordinance is not only unjust, it is bias and discriminatory against homeowners. To have a house and allow strangers to live in it, thousands were paid as down payment, very good credit score had to be provided, and documentation that the income from the property will not risk defaulting on the loan. It feels as if homeowners are being punished for doing all that to lower the payments to an affordable amount. That investment is not recuperated. A rental house is a never ending work in progress. Each time a tenant leaves repairs, upgrades, and loss of rent takes place. Cost of materials and labor are through the roof. But it's not enough, this ordinance expects homeowners to pay to get back Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Richard DAscoli The Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors opposes the TPO. TPO, will create substandard living conditions for tenants who rely on rental housing in Chula Vista and result in decaying neighborhoods for everyone. Chula Vista has no data or research to support taking such an unwarranted action. The vast majority of housing providers are responsible, fair and considerate. This sledgehammer approach to regulation is an attack on private property rights and the dignity of tenants and their neighbors. The TPO makes upgrading older and potentially unsafe and unsightly buildings cost‐prohibitive and difficult, if not nearly impossible. Chula Vista has old housing, improving property which needs regular and at times expensive improvements. Adding these excessive burdens, will create disincentives to improve Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 JASON J RIEHL OPPOSE TPO ‐ The state of CA just passed regulations for tenant protections. These are a hindrance already to small landlords & has altered property rights. The additional harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies could force owners out of business and will deter investment in rental properties. More restrictions / fees on rental owners will only INCREASE rents. Tenants are already protected in the state & San Diego. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Margo Anderson I urge your support of Item 5.2 because we desperately need more workforce housing for the missing middle. As a Chula Vista resident, and someone who would like to see future generations call Chula Vista home, we can't act fast enough to bring more housing of all types online. Item 5.2 would provide quality housing at affordable rents at a time when rent growth is outpacing wage growth. Thank you for all you do to make Chula Vista a more affordable community for me and my family. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Silvia Saldivar As a life long resident and renter in Chula Vista, I am in strong support of these protections. Chula Vista is experiencing an increasing numbers of evictions and homelessness in our community. We need stronger tenant protections to assure families and children have a roof over their heads. To be clear, this ordinance does not stop landlords from evicting tenants. Landlords have always been able to evict a tenant, but there have not been enough protections to support tenants being harrassed by their landlord. These protections make sure that landlords are not abusing just cause loopholes the statewide protections have unfortunately left open and abused by some landlords, and evicƟon aƩorneys. These protections are not rushed but long over due.

Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Louis Noriega Currently it takes 6 months to evict a tenant, even if it was for other matters than non payment of rent. This will keep landlords from upgrading their investment. And keep new investors out of Chula Vista. It will also give renters the ability to stretch their vacancy by eliminating communication. This proposal will increase rents because we will pass the added cost of renovations and housing to future renters. This is simply a bad idea. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Marielena Beatie This ordinance will create substandard living conditions for residents who rely on rental housing in Chula Vista and result in decaying neighborhoods for everyone. The TPO makes upgrading older and potentially unsafe and unsightly buildings cost‐ prohibitive and difficult, if not nearly impossible. The TPO will further segregate our city and eliminate opportunities for potential new homeowners to find for‐purchase housing opportunities as the TPO creates additional disincentives for corporate owners to convert older rental housing into desperately needed for‐purchase housing. This will force small property owners to sell to large corporations to own houses in Chula Vista. The TPO will reduce potential future property tax revenue and will add to revenue shortages in a city that is already suffering from budget constraints. I HIGHLY OPPOSE THIS Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Mitch Thompson My name is Mitch Thompson. I am a long‐time resident of the City of Chula Vista. I am a former CV City Councilman, CV Planning Commissioner, CV Housing Advisory Committee Member, CV Redevelopment Oversight Board and was the staff Housing Coordinator for the City of Chula Vista a number of years ago. I also worked for the County's Housing Authority for over ten years and built the several public housing projects still being operated in the Chula Vista. I have financed or developed many housing projects in Chula Vista. I spent my whole career in affordable housing and in the development of affordable housing in the San Diego area and throughout California. I continue to act as a financial and development consultant to local affordable housing non‐profits and serve on the Board of Directors of a local non‐profit housing management organization. I currently am the Chair of the Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Thomas J Corcoran I have a rental house with long‐ term tenants. Their rent is significantly below market because they have been good tenants and I don't believe in jacking up the rent every year. The tenants and I are both happy. So why do we need more regulations? What's broke? This proposal appears to be a political response to a special interest group. In my opinion, the proposal will result in even fewer available rentals because property owners will be less anxious to convert their homes into rentals. Knowing the increased restrictions, investors will look elsewhere to invest in rental property. Thank you for your public service! Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Nikki Coppa It is proposals like this that will cause the blighting of our city. A property owner has no motivation to maintain and improve their property when the community continues to strip them of their private property rights. Tenants in the state of CA have plenty of protections in place without the need to impose regulations that impair an owner's ability to consistently improve their property. Owning property used to be an honor and a sense of pride. Each year it become more onerous, especially for independent (Mom & Pop) owners. These are good people, trying to do the right things and build wealth for their future. Don't take that away from them by continuing to restrict their rights. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Max Zaker Supply problem not a regulation problem. Im a long‐time CV resident, a business owner, former Housing Advisory Commissioner and currently serve as the Planning Commission Chair. The city should be looking at ways to create more housing units for everyone. The housing problem is a supply and demand problem. Forcing owners to neglect property is not going to help tenants.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Thomas Perfect The state of California just recently required this provision for these same sets of housing providers. As a provider of over 200 residential units in Chula Vista, there are so many protections for tenants in place. Many tenants have experienced ill effects from problem tenants abusing local ordinances to avoid being removed from a property. The eviction process has already been halted for so long and has additional requirements of applications for rental assistance before they are being heard. This ordinances only makes it more difficult for landlords to provide quality and desirable housing opƟons for all types of tenants. I also want to make notice of the various typos in your draft. I would be appalled if an employee of mine published such a document. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Elaine Boyd ‐ Chula Vista Native A very substantial remodel can cost far, far less than 75% of a new build. That is an unrealistic yardstick for qualifying a 'substantial remodel.' I just did a sweeping, $90K residential project that took FOUR MONTHS. Kitchen, bathrooms, wall resurfacing, exterior deck, cement slab patio and more. It was on a 3bed/2ba house that would probably cost $350k to build new, possibly more. Using *any* percentage of a new build as a guide is problematic because so much of a new build is permits, foundation, utilities, all the things that make a new build so incredibly pricey. It's a completely unbalanced comparison. A great deal of this proposal is problematic, because it asks Chula Vista homeowners to give up so much, but the description of a substantial remodel, in particular, does not stand up to a sober, reasonable review. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Julie Paule ‐‐WMA Mobilehome park owners are opposed to this proposal. As a housing advisor to the city, this commission must understand that mobile home tenancies are very different then apartment tenancies. Mobilehome park residents own their home or coach and rent the lot that the home sits on from a park owner. Due to the unique rental relationship in mobilehome parks, residents have always had just‐ cause protections found in the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL). Californias mobilehome park residents have and fund the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP) which enforces the protections outlined in the MRL. The MRLPP requires property owners, to cure an MRL violation and if it isnt handled to the satisfaction of the resident, they are referred to Legal Aid to take further acƟon. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Jack Garrett Rosenthal We bought a run down four unit building about 8 years ago. We spent over a year and much of our retirement nest egg making the building healthy and habitable. We took a risk and added effectively new units to the long term entry level rental pool. The addition of new permanent government rules telling an owner what he/she can and cannot do with their life savings / property will be counter productive, It will encourage responsible small owner /investors to exit the rental business, We will sell to developers with the resources to challenge poorly crafted tenant "protecƟon" laws. Then they will redevelop older rental stock into higher priced mid market apartments or built to sell condos. Rent controls destroy the incentive to retain and improve older rental properties, Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Shaun Fagan I strongly oppose the Tenant Protection Ordinance to the Chula Vista Municipal Code! Many of the people in this community including renters and landlords alike do not believe this ordinance will improve the rental situation or homeless situation in the community. This ordinance will put undue hardship on landlords and cause further problems for renters. Additional harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies will force owners out of business and will deter investment in rental properties causing a further limited inventory of rental properties. Costly relocation payments will discourage landlords from rental property upgrades. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Chip Crandall The Tenant Protection Ordinance is seriously flawed...please read...1) The Staff Report mentions 792 "calls from Chula Vista residents were received" over a 3 year period. That's .08% of the tenant population that makes a call to the city each year. A number so low that it defies any reason for such a drastic response. So, what drives municipalities to stray so far out of bounds to allow such a small % of an industry population to change the rules and override democracy and the sanctity of property rights of hardworking business owners...here's your answer...2) 97% of CA cities and counties have not met their housing goals set by the state in 1969. And, Chula Vista is one of them. 50+ years of negligence. Yes...the state of CA forecasted this housing shortage would occur 50+ years ago if municipalities did not heed their Rental Housing Needs Assessments. So, what do the Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Ditas Yamane Happy New Year! Housing Commissioners. RE: Owners HAVE RIGHTS TOO!!! This ordinance is one sided. TENANTS PROTECTION RIGHTS or TPO ??? Commissioners, Having extended requirements to withdraw property from the rental market takes away an owner's right to their property. This property doesnt belong to the tenant or the city. Its wrong to pass an ordinance like this TPO and take those property rights away from the owners. Please do the right thing and Vote NO on this ordinance. Property Owners Have Rights Too! Thank you for your service. Be Safe.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Craig Everett If adopted, your this new ordinance will negatively impact the availability of rentals in the City of Chula Vista. We are seeing this in other areas of the county, especially the City of San Diego. Owners are withdrawing their rental units rather than deal with the risk you are placing entirely on landlords. It's unfair and will hurt your healthy rental market place. Don't go the way of the "WOKE" cities in California that are literally shooting themselves in the foot. Chula Vista is better than that. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Eric Sutton In the Fact Finding section, City Staff noted that, "the aging housing stock will necessitate additional renovations in the near future, particularly in western Chula Vista" and "48% of the City of Chula Vistas housing stock is over 40 years of age." Additional harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies could force owners out of business and will deter investment in these aging rental properties. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Gabriel Guzman I'm in complete support of passing stronger protections for tenants and closing loopholes which are being used to evict people from their homes and making children homeless. I am still trying to recover from the covid pandemic and we are now facing eviction as we were served with a 60 day notice. Being having been unlawfully evicted at the peak of the pandemic and now facing a 60 day notice I am afraid that my family will end up homeless in the next two months. This need to stop and landlords are not going to do it themselves!!! Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Maria Reyes I am a resident and renter in Chula Vista, and I am in strong support of these protections. We need these laws because finding housing is brutal right now, and it is not easy to find a place to live especially after the financial hardships the pandemic has caused. This will not stop remodels from happening, but make sure they are taking the correct steps, and make sure it is legitimate and not used an an excuse to evict and double or triple the rent for the next tenant. Again it is not impossible many other cities have these protections and are still getting remodeling done, and have less evicƟons. These protections should not scare any landlord doing the correct thing. I have seen many instances of harassment towards a tenant where the landlord has gone without any consequence. This will keep on happening unless we establish a boundary and set of rules.

Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Erika Diez The TPO makes upgrading older and potentially unsafe and unsightly buildings cost‐prohibitive and difficult, if not nearly impossible.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Erika Diez Please table this ordinance. California has some of the most tenant friendly laws in the country.

The City watched trash pile up for 5 weeks over the busy holiday season before taking action, and then did nothing to solve the problem. Meanwhile, landlords and residents were left on our own to sort through mountains of trash, hire outside vendors, and to haul our own trash to the dump. We survived with Landords and Renters working TOGETHER ‐ no thanks to City officials. Through over two years of the world‐wide health crisis, the COVID‐19 pandemic, we've had ZERO EVICTIONS for non‐payment of rent or for other reasons. Landlords and Renters working together in the most dire of circumstances to keep our community safe and livable ‐ without meddling from the City.

Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Bonnie Hatdcher If you put this ordinance in place then you will restrict owner's wanting or putting money into their properties for improvements. There has been vast improvement in Chula Vista to making it a place where people want to live. Do you want all of this to come to a halt because owner's don't have the flexibility to do renovations? Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Elaine Lucca The ordinance creates a divide between owners & renters, closinh important lines of communication. These remedies could force owners out of business & deter investment in rental property. Costly relocation payments will discourage rental property upgrades. All these complicated rules for housing providers go far beyond state law & ruin fair housing business. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Carmen Herrera Opposing Item 5.1, Tenant Protection Ordinance: CA and the City of Chula Vista do not need more regulation around tenant protection. This will not solve anything. Breaking even on a rental is a challenge and new regulation will only set me back.

You rents to stabilize or and minimize rent increases. This ordinance only serves to increase costs for property owners which will be passed on to renters. Every time a new regulation is imposed on a property owner, costs go up for everyone. Do not institute this ordinance. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Valentina Martinez I am in strong support of these protections. I think this would only help establish communication between landlords and renters, and set a clear set of rules and boundaries between both parties. There needs to be clear laws that define harassment and what substantial remodeling is. Substantial remodeling should only been done if the building is uninhabitable, not used as an excuse to get a new tenant in that can pay more rent. This is what is unfortunately happening in our city, and the city council needs to consider remedies. Please support these protections Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Charlene Zettel Additional housing regulations imposed on property owners only serves to cause property owners to exit the market or pass on extra costs of enforcement to their renters.

This can happen to any renter at any moment right now, even those good tenants because we don't have enough protections in our city. Please support your community in supporting these protections. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Amur I am opposing this ordinance because an extreme amount of limitations already exist for homeowners with rentals. The laws already protect tenants that respect the rental agreement, pay on time, and do not bully the homeowner. The estate of California made sure homeowners manage their house(s) with one hand tied behind their back and hoping on one foot. It's almost impossible to document the damages and destruction that tenants cause because, they already claim 'harassment' if we take pictures to document their violaƟons. The proposed ordinance will force me to reconsider keeping the house on the market. An appraisal is affected by the conditions of the house. What bank would approve a refinance to fund the tens of thousands of dollars for the work needed as outlined in the proposed ordinance? Refinancing will be impossible. The risk to have Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Anya I am not a homeowner yet, but I have witnessed tenants being abusive towards the landlord. I have seen destruction of garage doors and landscaping. That is why I oppose this ordinance. It is not easy to live near people that feel that if it's not their house they don't have to take care of it. But because they pay rent they damage the property. The last time I saw the new tenant talk to the landlord lady I thought he was going to hit her. I have seen one landlord spend days cleaning, fixing, upgrading the rental for new tenants. After a few months with new tenants the house looks in bad shape. I heard a tenant tell the landlord that a hole appeared on the new sink out of no where and I have seen tenants moving out and stealing things from the house. I rent but I am speaking against this because I hope to buy a house. I was advised to consider buying a second one as soon as I could so I Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Christian Leal I strongly oppose this new regulation. The rental market already favors the tenant! Landlords can use more assistance. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Lorilee San Agustin I am a member of ACCE, and I live in Chula Vista. In good faith, I am writing to ask the committee to support these protections and keeping people housed. During a pandemic, many of us have seen rent increased, or have been affected by the rising costs of housing around us. This global pandemic has not stopped evictions, and they have only been on a rise. Attorneys are being overwhelmed by the amount of housing related calls coming in, and need support to make sure they are able to support families beƩer. Please put the families and childs facing eviction during a housing crisis in mind. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Erin Ralston This ordinance goes too far. California is already one of the most tenant‐friendly states in the country and making it more difficult and risky for landlords to do business here will only hurt the City of Chula Vista. ‐The ordinance as drafted creates a divide between housing providers and their residents and will close important lines of communicaƟon. ‐ Additional harassment laws, criminal penalties, and private remedies could force owners out of business and will deter investment in rental properƟes ‐ Costly relocation payments will discourage rental property upgrades and degrade the quality of housing over the long term Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Darianna lopez As a resident of chula vista, i strongly support these protections. I have experienced harassment from my landlord, and I went to seek legal help they were not able to help me enough because of the lack of protections. We need to be able to hold bad actors accountable just like a tenant is held accountable by being able to be evicted and potentially homeless. Please support this ordinance, it is what chula vista community members need. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Daniel Jones If the city is going to pay tenants for these added costs out of the pockets of the members that vote to support it, I am all for it! My home is still my home, tenants trash them enough, I do NOT need to pay them to trash it for 3 months! Please leave the handlings of our property to the current law. Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 ML Thompson I request that the HAC recommend that the City Council NOT adopt the draft TPO for the following reasons: 1. The City has not conducted any analysis as to whether or not there is any real problem in Chula Vista for which this ordinance attempts to address. This appears to be a knee‐jerk reaction without any determination by the City of a real problem. You should not adopt an ordinance without fully identifying the breadth and depth of the problem‐‐if one exists. The staff only cited a couple of instances related to this ordinance and no detailed analysis has been conducted. To act before knowing if there even is a problem or the extent of a problem is premature and ill‐advised. We currently have enough laws on the books in Chula Vista and we need to add additional only when necessary. The cautious and judicial use of police powers of local government Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Esther Meneses No es gusto que los dueños de casa. Estén desalojando, a los inquilinos. Pues gracias a ellos , an pedido comprar más casas. A ellos sólo los nueve la ambición. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 ML Thompson Reasons to Oppose: 3.Enforcement‐‐The idea that you would propose that a landlord be subject to criminal charges and imprisonment is a terrible message to send to the many hundreds of dedicated housing providers in the City of Chula Vista. The tone of the ordinance is objectionable especially since you have not demonstrated that you have a real problem. It is as though the City is deciding that a group of its citizens ‐the owners‐‐ who are diligently providing an essential service in this community are criminals. This is s chilling message, not just to owners, but to all segments of the business community. The whole document is chilling. Terms like "abuse the tenant with words which are offensive and inherently likely to provoke an immediate violent reaction" or "influence or attempt to influence a tenant to vacate" imply there is a dramatic problem with landlords in Chula Vista. I know so many owners in Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 ML Thompson Oppose for the following reasons: 5.The rental property business is complicated. California has some of the best laws in the United States with respect to protection of tenants and their rights. Having a uniform set of laws at the state level makes the most sense for regulation of the rental housing industry. Also, the City is not equipped to administer this ordinance. Chula Vista has a structural deficit in its finances. Adding this level of workload on the Chula Vista staff makes no sense. The City needs to continue to focus on its core services‐‐trash collection, fixing potholes, making sure the storm drains are clear, keeping adequate police and fire (we have very low staffing levels for these). IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY? 6.Tenants are well protected. Not only are state laws adequate with enforcement through the courts but the County and federal governement has routinely Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Emely N Please support these protections. This is going to help many families and children, and those most vulnerable. This is just about profit for speculators, but this is about having a roof over our head for vulnerable families renting who might be living paycheck to paycheck. Chula vista is a welcoming city, and that means we have to take those steps to make sure we are inclusive of all people and we are not kicking out vulnerable folks from our city. We need this ordinance, please support. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Jose Lopez I strongly support this ordinance. These are fair and very necessary protections. Providing tenants with more time and money to relocate if evicted for a NO FAULT just cause is the responsible thing to do. Providing tenants with 2 extra months to relocate and an extra month of relocation assistance is the nothing, compared to the profit a landlord can make after evicting a tenant. It is concerning to read all the comments from landlords who are concerned about an anti harassment law. If you are a good landlord you should not be concerned about this. I am very proud to see the city of Chula Vista take steps to protect renters. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 ML Thompson Oppose for the following reason: ‐‐.This whole effort sadly distracts the City, the Housing Advisory Committee and the City Council from addressing "the elephant in the Housing Room". You should be laser‐focused on the problem of inadequate rental housing supply and the burgeoning demand for more housing. The City needs to identify each and every way it can help the development community bring on more rental housing units to meet demand. This is the only way to truly protect tenants in Chula Vista. More regulations means less housing and the people you most want to help will be hurt the worst over the long run. The City needs some staff, the HousingTask Force and a City Council Committee to be exclusively dedicated and charged with the task ofto coming up with each and every technique possible tocreate more housing. No amount of regulation‐‐‐ like this ordinance‐‐ Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Mari Mazz In response to the new ordinances. I am a single person who could not afford to live in my home in 1999. Instead of selling I 1031 exchanged into 3 small rentals. I have never had a good cash flow and still don't. This is my only job and my only income. The costs of keeping the rentals in good condition has skyrocketed; i.e. taxes, supplies, roofs, landcaping, plumbing, electrical, repairs, water, tree trimming. All of these service costs have skyrocketed. I have no more cash flow now than I did in 1999. I do not have extra funds for costly lawsuits, or to place a former tenant in new housing. The new ordinances are not in line with state law. What incentives will landlords have to provide clean safe housing. Restrictive ordindances will force owners to sell their properties and I'm sure that developers will line Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Paulina Olvera Cañez Please support the proposed tenant protections. As the cost of housing continues to skyrocket, tenants need more time to relocate and more money. In order to move to a new place tenants need to be able to afford the first month rent and deposit plus the cost of moving. Providing them with more time and money is not only fair but it is the right thing to do. The protections against harassment are also very important and is you are a good landlord you should be supporting this too. This ordinance will make Chula Vista a safer and more welcoming place to live. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Joshua Gonzalez‐Thomas Due to extended pandemic, renters need more protection against unlawful evictions, harrassment from corrupt landlords and falsified statements that end in eviction. I'm self employed, engaged, with a 8mo son with disabilities along with my fiance. Can't afford new place due to impact on finances due to pandemic and other issues. I work nearly 20 hours a day just to make ends meet. Help protect those who are vulnerable! Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Mitch Thompson Reasons: 1.The City has not conducted any real analysis of the issue. You should NOT adopt an ordinance without fully identifying the breadth and depth of the problem‐‐ if one exists. To act before knowing if there even is a problem or the extent of a problem is premature and ill‐advised. 2.Unintended Consequences. Adding substantial cost on a unit rehab will make that rehabilitation less likely to occur. CVs housing is old and needs repair. The TPO hurts that effort.. 3.Enforcement‐‐Proposing that landlords be subject to criminal charges and imprisonment is a terrible message to send to the many hundreds of dedicated housing providers in the City of Chula Vista. The tone of the ordinance is objectionable. This sends a chilling message from City Hall, not just to owners, but to all segments of the business community. The biggest problem Oppose Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Christy Lopez I support this ordinance! My family was evicted for no fault several years ago. This caused a huge hardship for us. We were unable to find a home in Chula Vista and had to move to San Ysidro. This really affected me in school and had negative impacts on my parents work. We went from paying 1350 a month at the home we lived in for 10 years to 2400 a month. This forced my mom to get another job and we had to invite my uncle to live with us to help pay the rent. If we had more time and money to move it would have made things a lot easier for us. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Gilberto M. Vera My name is Gilberto Vera and I am the Senior Attorney at Legal Aid Society of San Diego. The pandemic has not affected us all equally. It has disproportionally affected lower income households and those paying the majority of their income to rent. If you are committed to preventing displacement of your most vulnerable residents, I am urging the committee to support the proposed Just Cause tenant protections and anti‐harassments ordinance. The projections do not give more rights to "bad tenants" or tenants not paying rent. The protections are aimed at preventing abuse from bad landlords. Please support your community by supporting these protections. Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 Maria Cristina Lopez Por favor apoyen esta ley.

Support Housing Advisory Commission ‐ Special Virtual 1/19/2022 T Henderson Please register my opposition to this hastily developed and unnecessary ordinance. Because of the actions of a few bad apple housing providers, the City is creating more red tape and government busy work. Costly lawsuits by tenants alleging harassment will tie up resources and court cases. Increased noticing periods and relocation payments create additional burdens and operational hurdles for good intenƟoned housing providers. The creation of this ordinance has been hurried and at the request of City Council hearing from a handful of residents who do not represent the majority. Why create broad brushed government solutions to a problem that at best, is affecting a handful of residents.

Where can landlords go for legal help? free resources? No where. Resources were made available to low income families, some tenants applied for help but some did not for whatever reason. Those tenants could not get evicted but the landlord could not charge late fees. Shelters have their rules, no drinking alcohol, no drugs, etc. They are run by cities or organizations. Why are landlords being discriminated and punished for providing long term housing with more flexibility than shelters?
