Honorable Mayor & City Council October 24, 2023
Here is the context explaining my presentations over
the past several months.
When the first twenty page draft of The " Tenant
Protection Ordinance 1was released last year I consulted several property managers. John Miller, of Jon Miller
Realty, was not concerned and was confident the
Ordinance would never pass. Mr. Miller concluded- that
the $ 5, 000. 00 daily fines levied on unsuspecting
Landlords and/ or Tenants would force drastic rent
increases devastating the homeless, elderly, and Chula.
Vista' s Rental Community.
On the other hand, Earl Jentz, of Balboa Realty,
realizing the politics involved. explained The TPO was
Mary Salas' s " Baby". Our previous Mayor was going to
ram the ordinance thru no mater how - many low income
tenants were effected.
Tire second to last Council Meeting of the previous
session, was under pressure to " Pass Something". The
majority of Council Members voted to pass The TPOO
