Pacifica City Council to take up rent control

January 22, 2016

The Pacifica City Council will consider rent control during its Monday meeting, and CAA is calling on members to speak out against this flawed policy.

At the meeting, rent control advocates also are expected to demand a just-cause eviction ordinance, which would make it difficult to evict tenants suspected of violent crimes, making it impossible to protect your residents and property.

It is vital that members of the rental housing industry attend and speak against these harmful regulations and remind council members that:

Rent control isn’t an affordable housing program; it will not build one new unit of housing
Rent control provides a subsidy based on how long someone has lived in a unit, not their need for subsidized housing
Residents invested in rental units to save for their retirement and children’s college education; rent control destroys that nest egg
Cities with rent control generally have higher rents than cities that don’t have rent control; rent control won’t bring rents down.

If you cannot attend the meeting, please call or send an email to members of the Pacifica City Council and ask them not to punish rental property owners as they work to address the city’s housing shortage.

Andrea was very helpful and thorough. She provided different points and angles to my question for my consideration. In her questions she revealed that we need to revamp our internal paperwork and provided references from CAA's forms. I was very satisfied and felt confident in the decisions our company needs to make regarding the matter we sought with CAA. Thank you CAA. We appreciate your help.

I just want to say Thank You Team at CAA. Being a Landlord in California is frightening enough -- but with you, not as scary! I just know someone on the team understands!

We have been a CAA members since 1984. CAA has provided us the guidance needed to successfully manage our property. The rental forms keep us on solid legal ground which has minimized our management workload and helped us maintain quality housing for our clients. Your weekly e-news keeps us appraised of property management issues to be on the lookout for. Your work in the California State legislature in Sacramento has provided valuable representation for our industry. Keep up the excellent work!

Kevin, I don't say this often, but from the second we began this relationship you have been nothing but a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous help. I cannot thank you enough for being so flexible with us. Thank you again!

Dear Ms. Moss, I want to personally thank you for your timely and very professional response. You are very thorough AND you provide examples and attachments how to find solutions and how to address the issues effectively. What you did would have taken me hours of research and still I wouldn't feel as confident in my ability because I am not up to date on how certain areas of a contract are practiced.

I was wary about joining CAA but after today I know I did the right thing and plan on continuing my membership for a long time.

Many thanks

I would describe CAA as my "Best Friend" in this venture called LANDLORDING. So happy you are there!

We could not have accomplished the defeat of Measure C without CAA. We have been CAA members for over 30 years and membership fees have been returned to us “100 fold” with protection of our rental owner rights and the defeat of rent control in Santa Rosa. We at Pine Creek and Goodwin Property Management thank CAA for always supporting us.

I recently needed to take a few hours of classes to complete my Recertification as a CAA California Certified Residential Manager. I found it very convenient to do this through on demand classes at my office. The classes are well done and gave great education to further my property management skills. I even registered my maintenance team to listen to some of the classes. It benefited us all.

Thank you. You guys conducted a great campaign with Measure C. We would have obviously lost without your management, coordination, and hard work. Sure glad you guys are here...
