Landlords in Santa Ana may face rent increase restrictions as the city council votes Sept. 21 on whether to impose limits amid an affordable housing dilemma.
According to Councilmember Phil Bacerra, members of the council proposed an eviction ordinance motivated to assist tenants as the eviction moratorium ends on Sept. 30. With landlords being unable to increase rent as inflation occurs, Bacerra stated the ordinance would impact the value of housing in the city.
