On October 5, Santa Ana faulted in its transparency and public meeting requirements. As a result, the ordinances will have their final hearing on October 19 to vote on the ordinances.The ordinances will have the following impacts on owners:

• Rent increases capped at 80% of local inflation rate (CPI) or 3%, whichever is less
• A limited and strict petition process for owners to get a higher rent increase.
• Just cause eviction requirements starting on the 31st day of tenancy.
• Prohibiting evictions of households with students during the school year.
• Requiring the district attorney to prosecute an individual in order to evict for criminal activity.
• Mandating higher relocation assistance payments to households beyond what’s in state law.
• Undetermined and unlimited fees to fund the rent board development, implementation, and enforcement.
• Costing Santa Ana taxpayers millions annually to implement
