Subject:Opposition to Proposed Rental Registry
Dear Members of San Luis Obispo City Council,
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed rental registry for property owners in San Luis Obispo.
The City already has several effective enforcement tools in place to address issues related to rental housing.
These include business licensing requirements, existing code enforcement mechanisms, and health and safety
inspections. These systems give the City the authority to investigate complaints and ensure that rental
properties meet established standards. Because these tools already exist, creating an additional rental
registry appears unnecessary and duplicative.
Instead of introducing new administrative requirements for property owners, the City could focus on using
and strengthening the enforcement that are already in place. Doing so would address problematic situations
without creating additional bureaucracy or costs for responsible property owners who are already complying
with the rules.
Policies that encourage the development of additional housing units-rather than adding new regulatory
burdens-will better support renters and property owners alike while helping the City meet it's housing goals.
For these reasons, I urge the City Council to reconsider the proposed rental registry and increase housing
supply and make full use of the enforcement tools the City already has available.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Teresa Lassiter
San Luis Obispo Resident
